About:
CycloneDX for Python generates a standards-compliant Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) in JSON or XML format from your project's installed packages. It analyzes your environment to list all components, their versions, and transitive dependencies, providing essential visibility into your software supply chain. This tool is crucial for security compliance and vulnerability management.
Key Features:
  • Supports multiple input sources (pip, requirements.txt, PEP 621 pyproject.toml)
  • Outputs to JSON, XML, or protocol buffers
  • Vulnerability data enrichment via integration with services like NVD
  • Lightweight and easy to integrate into CI/CD pipelines
Use Cases:
  • Generating SBOMs for regulatory compliance (e.g., Executive Order 14028)
  • Auditing project dependencies for known security vulnerabilities
  • Integrating software composition analysis into automated builds
Alternatives:
  • pip-audit – pip-audit focuses specifically on vulnerability scanning, whereas CycloneDX-python focuses on generating the SBOM artifact itself.
  • tern – Tern is primarily for container images, while CycloneDX-python operates at the Python environment level.
