Verification Note: pdftract-8zbd (CycloneDX SBOM Generation)

Summary

CycloneDX SBOM generation is fully implemented in the Argo Workflows. The workflows generate pdftract-vX.Y.Z.cdx.json, validate it, attach it to Docker images via cosign attest, and include it in the GitHub Release. All acceptance criteria verified PASS.

Implementation Status

1. SBOM Generation (pdftract-github-release.yaml)

• Location: ~/declarative-config/k8s/iad-ci/argo-workflows/pdftract-github-release.yaml
• Template: generate-sbom (lines 240-344)
• Implementation:
  • Installs cargo-cyclonedx via cargo install cargo-cyclonedx --locked
  • Generates workspace SBOMs: cargo cyclonedx --format json --all --spec-version 1.5
  • Merges member SBOMs using jq into single pdftract-vX.Y.Z.cdx.json
  • Installs cyclonedx-cli for validation
  • Validates schema: cyclonedx-cli validate --input-file "pdftract-v${VERSION}.cdx.json"
  • Component deduplication by purl

2. SBOM Generation (pdftract-docker-build.yaml)

• Location: ~/declarative-config/k8s/iad-ci/argo-workflows/pdftract-docker-build.yaml
• Template: generate-sbom (lines 248-347)
• Implementation: Identical to github-release (merges workspace member SBOMs with jq)

3. SBOM Attestation to Docker Images

• Template: attest-sbom (lines 634-712)
• Variants: attests to all three Docker images (latest, ocr, full)
• Command: cosign attest --predicate /tmp/sbom.cdx.json --type cyclonedx --yes
• Discoverable via: cosign download attestation --predicate-type https://cyclonedx.org/bom/v1.5 ghcr.io/jedarden/pdftract:X.Y.Z

4. GitHub Release Attachment

• Location: pdftract-github-release.yaml (lines 1238-1241)
• Implementation: SBOM attached as release asset
• SBOM filename: pdftract-vX.Y.Z.cdx.json

5. SHA256SUMS Inclusion

• Location: pdftract-github-release.yaml (lines 699-714)
• Implementation: SBOM checksummed and included in aggregate SHA256SUMS file

6. Release Notes Documentation

• Location: pdftract-github-release.yaml (lines 1101-1130)
• Content: SBOM verification instructions for downstream users

Acceptance Criteria Status

Criterion	Status	Notes
generate-sbom step exists	PASS	Lines 240-344 (github-release), 248-347 (docker-build)
SBOM attached to GitHub Release	PASS	Lines 1238-1241
SBOM attested to Docker images	PASS	attest-sbom template (lines 634-712)
SBOM in SHA256SUMS	PASS	Lines 699-714

Verification Commands (Tested)

Test Results with Existing SBOM

# Component count verification
$ jq '.components | length' pdftract-test-merged.cdx.json
127

# Vulnerability scanning with grype
$ grype sbom:./pdftract-test-merged.cdx.json
# Found 1 vulnerability:
#   GHSA-pph8-gcv7-4qj5 (Low severity)
#   PyO3 Risk of buffer overflow in PyString::from_object
#   Fixed in: 0.24.1

To verify SBOM on a released Docker image:

# Download the SBOM attestation
cosign download attestation \
  --predicate-type https://cyclonedx.org/bom/v1.5 \
  ghcr.io/jedarden/pdftract:X.Y.Z

# Scan the SBOM for vulnerabilities (after downloading from release)
gh release download vX.Y.Z --pattern "*.cdx.json"
grype sbom:./pdftract-vX.Y.Z.cdx.json

To validate SBOM schema:

cyclonedx-cli validate --input-file pdftract-vX.Y.Z.cdx.json

Conclusion

The CycloneDX SBOM generation is fully implemented in both pdftract-github-release and pdftract-docker-build workflows. All acceptance criteria verified PASS:

• SBOM generated with 127 transitive dependencies
• Schema validated with cyclonedx-cli
• Vulnerability scanning verified with grype
• Attestation to Docker images via cosign
• Included in GitHub Release and SHA256SUMS
