Protocol Buffers
CycloneDX BOMs may consist solely of vulnerabilities, thus can be used to share vulnerability data between systems and sources of vulnerability intelligence. Complex vulnerability data can be represented including:
- Source of vulnerability intelligence
- References to other sources of intelligence containing the same vulnerability
- Multiple severity and/or risk ratiings
- Complete vulnerability details and recommendations
- Organizations and individuals credited with discovery
- Affected software and their versions
Advisory Format
CycloneDX is also an ideal advisory format, thus providing a common standard and tool chain for BOM and advisory information. A BOV which additionally contains the analysis of the vulnerability along with a metadata reference to the component itself provides the details necessary for full-featured advisory use cases.
