🌟 OpenSSF Project Spotlight: #OpenVEX

Adolfo Veytia walks us through how OpenVEX helps developers clearly communicate which vulnerabilities actually impact their software - and which don’t.

You can't patch every CVE—but you can explain every one.

Anchore 5.22 brings VEX annotations + OpenVEX export to make vulnerability data contextual and credible.

Watching Puerco demonstrate working VEX in action #osseu . Woot woot! #openvex

I'm about to present how to generate #OpenVEX data from #SBOM the hard and the easy way at #OSSummit. There will be fast cars, car crashes and lots of bad stock photos!

Come and have fun with me and @wolfi at 3:55 pm, room 0C.

SBOM alone may not encode enough detail to separate non-exploitable vulnerabilities from exploitable ones writes Surendra Pathak in our latest guest blog on #VDR, #VEX, #OpenVEX and #CSAF https://openssf.org/blog/2023/09/07/vdr-vex-openvex-and-csaf/
VDR, VEX, OpenVEX and CSAF - Open Source Security Foundation

Early adopters of SBOM have proposed new standards as well as updates to existing standards to specify the status of each vulnerability alongside the SBOM itself. In this context, existing practices such as VDR, CSAF, and emerging standards VEX and OpenVEX are playing a key role.

Open Source Security Foundation

At the heart of the CVE process and the matching done with the NVD database is the name of the manufacturer and the artefact - the software, system, library or mobile application. It's vital for this to work that the name in the #SBOM is correct to make the match work. The community has developed #PURL - package URL - to improve but so far the CVE/NVD eco system has not adopted PURL.

This needs to be fixed to make sure that the name in the SBOM matches the right set of vulnerabilities.

☝️I remember @lorenc_dan made a presentation in one of the meetings by @openssf Vulnerability Disclosures WG about #OpenVEX https://twitter.com/lorenc_dan/status/1634526797076258816?s=20

This is the second talk that you can learn more about #OpenVEX a new open standard for #VEX by @cloudnativeboy in his YouTube Channel at today 🎤
