Chapter 4. Scanning a software bill of materials file
You can scan software bill of materials (SBOM) documents using the Red Hat Trusted Profile Analyzer service on Hybrid Cloud Console or your own RHTPA instance. The Trusted Profile Analyzer service can analyze a standard SBOM, Artificial Intelligence Bill of Materials (AIBOM) containing language models, and Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM) containing keys, certificates, and libraries.
Red Hat does not retain a copy of your scanned SBOM documents.
Prerequisites
- An existing CycloneDX 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 or Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) 2.2, 2.3 document files.
Procedure
- Open a web browser.
- Go to the Trusted Profile Analyzer console URL for your running RHTPA instance.
- Log in to the Trusted Profile Analyzer console with your credentials.
- Click SBOMs from the navigation menu.
- Click the Generate vulnerability report button.
- You can drag and drop your SBOM file directly to this page, or click the Browse Files button, then choose the SBOM file you want to scan.
- After RHTPA scans the SBOM file, you get a summary of the analysis, and any specific vulnerability information for the packages included in your SBOM file.
