Description
SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) is a file that specifies each component of software or a build process.
It should be generated after every pipeline run. After it is generated, it must then be signed.
You can configure tools or run commands to check for workflows uses tools to verify this. The parameter are tools and commands.
Rationale
Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is a file used to validate the integrity and security of a build pipeline. Signing it ensures that no one tampered with the file when it was delivered. Such interference can happen if someone tries to hide unusual activity. Validating the SBOM signature can detect this activity and prevent much greater incident.
