Pull Request Description

What

Import non-excluded CycloneDX components from Maturin-generated wheel SBOMs into Fromager's canonical SPDX document. Relate bundled components to the wheel with CONTAINS, normalize local PURLs, and preserve the original CycloneDX files.

Why

Maturin generates an SBOM for crates bundled in a Python wheel. These components should be represented in Fromager's SBOM as well.

Closes: #965

Import non-excluded CycloneDX components from Maturin-generated wheel
SBOMs into Fromager's canonical SPDX document. Relate bundled components
to the wheel with CONTAINS, normalize local PURLs, and preserve the
original CycloneDX files.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Fromager now merges Maturin-generated CycloneDX components into its canonical SPDX 2.3 wheel SBOM. The merge handles nested components, filtering, PURL cleanup, deduplication, SPDX identifiers, hashes, licenses, and CONTAINS relationships. Wheel processing preserves native SBOM files. Documentation and tests cover the new behavior.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e680d

The wheel merge has a localized license-expression accuracy issue and a straightforward test URL correction. Address these before merging, or explicitly accept the bounded SBOM accuracy risk.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to e680d

Risk is concentrated in SBOM identity and declaration accuracy. Imported metadata can affect generated provenance records, and compound license expressions can change meaning during conversion. Exposure is limited to processed wheels with SBOM generation enabled; downstream enforcement effects are not established.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: General PURL deduplication indexes generated wheel and upstream packages as well as imported components. A wheel-supplied component matching a generated package PURL can therefore add asserted checksums or licenses to that package; an upstream match also receives wheel CONTAINS. The stricter Python-root name and version checks do not govern this branch. This can conflate imported assertions with generated provenance, although downstream security-policy impact is not demonstrated.
  • Low · architecture · inferred: Accepted compound license expressions are joined with an unparenthesized AND. Combining “MIT OR Apache-2.0” with “GPL-3.0-only” yields “MIT OR Apache-2.0 AND GPL-3.0-only”, rather than preserving the intended conjunction of both expressions. The canonical licenseDeclared field can consequently express weaker requirements despite syntactic validation.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A producer able to supply SBOM content in an accepted source-built wheel can influence that wheel's canonical SPDX package assertions. Copies and downstream readers can inherit those assertions. The inspected path establishes per-wheel metadata exposure, not additional tenant, service, credential, or infrastructure authority.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — An input producer can place a component with a generated package's PURL in a CycloneDX components list. The general reuse branch can merge its asserted hashes or license into the generated package and add upstream containment. This import route is new relative to the base; actual bypass of a downstream admission or vulnerability policy remains unverified.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The merge accepts wheel-local JSON identified by bomFormat as CycloneDX and applies field-level conversion controls. These controls support formatting and root identity, but do not authenticate input producers or independently verify imported hashes. Original documents remain available alongside the canonical output.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Ordinary merge or serialization exceptions occur inside temporary extraction before packing and before original-wheel deletion, limiting partial publication through this new step. The normal caller regenerates SPDX on each invocation. Cross-invocation no-PURL identity reuse is incomplete, but no production caller was shown remerging the same document. Atomic packing, interruption recovery, and concurrent final-output ownership remain unestablished and are not shown to be newly weakened.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Distinguish imported assertions from reserved generated provenance packages, define how conflicting checksum claims are handled, and preserve expression grouping when combining declared licenses. These would strengthen canonical metadata integrity without implying that imported SBOMs are independently attested.

Why is this necessary? AFAIK the Atlas tool can deal with Maturin's SBOMs. That's how William found out that one of our images was shipping uv with rustls.

@tiran It's a lot easier to look at one comprehensive SBOM of all components than have to learn how to parse the output of each individual build tool that may produce one. Fromager itself is a build tool so I find it acceptable that it would be within its scope to provide a unified view into the components of a wheel that it builds, by understanding the format of individual SBOMs that may already placed within a wheel by the tools it calls during the build process.

Down the line, we could even provide more information in Fromager's SBOM if maturin (or other build tools) happen to lack a certain feature to add more information into an SBOM or make it more accurate.

I would also be surprised if Atlas processed maturin-generated SBOMs. Do you have a link to one?

I would also be surprised if Atlas processed maturin-generated SBOMs. Do you have a link to one?

Here is actually an example of an external SBOM (not generated by Fromager) trying to be uploaded to Atlas and failing (line 293): https://konflux-ui.apps.kflux-prd-rh03.nnv1.p1.openshiftapps.com/ns/rhtap-releng-tenant/applications/calunga-v2-index-main/pipelineruns/managed-zx8qm/logs?task=upload-sboms-to-atlas

I think this further underlines the need for us to have one SBOMs that has a common format for SBOM data instead of forcing downstream tools to recognize many different files/formats.

Drop the SHA3-224 hash mapping (not an SPDX 2.3 algorithm), validate
license expressions with the SPDX licensing parser, and skip
non-hexadecimal checksum content so merged CycloneDX components cannot
produce an invalid canonical SBOM.

Preserve grouping when combining CycloneDX license expressions.

merge_cyclonedx_sboms is called during wheel builds. For entries such as MIT OR Apache-2.0 and BSD-3-Clause, the helper emits MIT OR Apache-2.0 AND BSD-3-Clause. SPDX precedence reads this as MIT OR (Apache-2.0 AND BSD-3-Clause), not (MIT OR Apache-2.0) AND BSD-3-Clause. This weakens the declared license requirement.

Use a .test host for the test repository_url.

Line 438 uses a real host, https://packages.redhat.com. The repository guideline requires the .test TLD for URLs in tests. The test does not depend on this host, so this change does not affect the assertions.
