GUAC v0.8.0 brings support for license information, running vuln scans upon SBOM ingestion, node deletion, and many other improvements.
July 25, 2024
GUAC v0.8.0 is now available. This release brings support for license information, node deletion, and many other improvements. You can now run vulnerability scans immediately on SBOM ingestion with the < --add-vuln-on-ingest> flag instead of waiting for the OSV certifier to run. To better represent the real world, the isDependency relationship now only exists on package versions instead of the package name. For a full list of changes, see the
release page on GitHub.
GUAC v0.8.0 adds support for parsing license information provided in CycloneDX SBOMs. The new release also includes a new experimental ClearlyDefined certifier. GUAC will query the ClearlyDefined license data store to discover license information for packages, even when the SBOM does not include that information.
Although licenses don’t directly impact security, they are an important part of understanding your software supply chain. We’re excited to expand GUAC’s capabilities in this area.
GUAC v0.8.0 adds support for deleting the following evidence nodes: <certifyVuln>, <hasSBOM>, and <hasSLSA>. This is helpful when SBOMs were ingested by accident or as part of a short-term demo. <Delete> is supported in both the key value and the ENT backends.
If there are other nodes that you have a use case for deleting, please file an issue to let us know.
Thanks to the 10 contributors who made this release possible, including new contributor Collin Berman. We’d love to have your contribution. If you have uses cases GUAC should support, or want to contribute to our code or documentation, join us!
