SBOM & License Compliance

The SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) feature provides a complete inventory of all dependencies across your repositories, with vulnerability tracking and license compliance analysis.

The SBOM page has three tabs: Packages, License Compliance, and Compare.

Packages Tab

The packages tab lists all dependencies discovered during scans.

Filtering

Use the filter bar to narrow results:

  • Repository — Select a specific repository or view all
  • Package Manager — npm, cargo, pip, go, maven, nuget, composer, gem
  • Search — Filter by package name
  • Vulnerabilities — Show all packages, only those with vulnerabilities, or only clean packages
  • License — Filter by specific license (MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD-3-Clause, GPL-3.0, etc.)

Package Details

Each package row shows:

Column Description
Package Package name
Version Installed version
Manager Package manager (npm, cargo, pip, etc.)
License License identifier with color-coded badge
Vulnerabilities Count of known vulnerabilities (click to expand)

Vulnerability Details

Click the vulnerability count to expand inline details showing:

  • Vulnerability ID (e.g. CVE-2024-1234)
  • Source database
  • Severity level
  • Link to the advisory

Export

Export your SBOM in industry-standard formats:

  1. Select a format:
    • CycloneDX 1.5 — JSON format widely supported by security tools
    • SPDX 2.3 — Linux Foundation standard for license compliance
  2. Click Export
  3. The SBOM downloads as a JSON file

::: tip SBOM exports are useful for compliance audits, customer security questionnaires, and supply chain transparency requirements. :::

License Compliance Tab

The license compliance tab helps you understand your licensing obligations.

Copyleft Warning

If any dependencies use copyleft licenses (GPL, AGPL, LGPL, MPL), a warning banner appears listing the affected packages and noting that they may impose distribution requirements.

License Distribution

A horizontal bar chart visualizes the percentage breakdown of licenses across your dependencies.

License Table

A detailed table lists every license found, with:

Column Description
License License identifier
Type Copyleft or Permissive badge
Packages List of packages using this license
Count Number of packages

Copyleft licenses (flagged as potentially restrictive):

  • GPL-2.0, GPL-3.0
  • AGPL-3.0
  • LGPL-2.1, LGPL-3.0
  • MPL-2.0

Permissive licenses (generally safe for commercial use):

  • MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD-2-Clause, BSD-3-Clause, ISC, etc.

Compare Tab

Compare the dependency profiles of two repositories side by side.

  1. Select Repository A from the first dropdown
  2. Select Repository B from the second dropdown
  3. View the diff results:
Section Description
Only in A Packages present in repo A but not in repo B
Only in B Packages present in repo B but not in repo A
Version Diffs Same package, different versions between repos
Common Count of packages that match exactly

This is useful for:

  • Auditing consistency across microservices
  • Identifying dependency drift between environments
  • Planning dependency upgrades across projects
