The sca-codeinsight-reports-cyclonedx repository is a report for Revenera's Code Insight product. This report allows a user to generate an CycloneDX report representing the software bill of material (SBOM) for a given project.
Code Insight Release Requirements
| Repository Tag | Minimum Code Insight Release |
|---|---|
| 1.0.x | 2021R4 |
| 1.1.x | 2022R1 |
Repository Cloning
This repository should be cloned directly into the $CODEINSIGHT_INSTALLDIR/custom_report_scripts directory. If no prior custom reports has been installed, this directory will need to be created prior to cloning.
Submodule Repositories
This repository contains two submodule repositories for code that is used across multiple projects. There are two options for cloning this repository and ensuring that the required submodules are also installed.
Clone the report repository use the recursive option to automatically pull in the required submodules
git clone --recursive
Alternatively clone the report repository and then clone the submodules separately by entering the cloned directory and then pulling down the necessary submodules code via
git submodule init
git submodule update
Python Requirements
This repository requires the python requests module to interact with the Code Insight REST APIs. To install this as well as the the modules it depends on the requirements.txt file has been supplied and can be used as follows.
pip install -r requirements.txt
For registration purposes the file server_properties.json should be created and located in the $CODEINSIGHT_INSTALLDIR/custom_report_scripts/ directory. This file contains a json with information required to register the report within Code Insight as shown here:
{ "core.server.url": "http://localhost:8888" , "core.server.token" : "Admin authorization token from Code Insight" }
The value for core.server.url is also used within create_report.py for any project or inventory based links back to the Code Insight server within a generated report.
If the common server_properties.json files is not used then the information the the following files will need to be updated:
registration.py - Update the baseURL and adminAuthToken values. These settings allow the report itself to be registered on the Code Insight server.
create_report.py - Update the baseURL value. This URL is used for links within the reports.
Report option default values can also be specified in registration.py within the reportOptions dictionaries.
Prior to being able to call the script directly from within Code Insight it must be registered. The registration.py file can be used to directly register the report once the contents of this repository have been added to the custom_report_script folder at the base Code Insight installation directory.
To register this report:
python registration.py -reg
To unregister this report:
python registration.py -unreg
To update this report configuration:
python registration.py -update
This report is executed directly from within Revenera's Code Insight product. From the project reports tab of each Code Insight project it is possible to generate the CycloneDX Report via the Report Framework.
The generated reports will utilize the following Project Custom Fields if available
- Application Name
- Application Version
- Application Publisher
The above values will be used in place of the Project Name for any project references within the generated artifacts to allow users the ability abstract the project name for the application SBOM report.
Report Options
- Including child projects (True/False) - Determine if child project data will be included or not.
The Code Insight Report Framework will provide the following to the report when initiated:
- Project ID
- Report ID
- Authorization Token
For this example report these three items are passed on to a batch or sh file which will in turn execute a python script. This script will then:
- Collect data for the report via REST API using the Project ID and Authorization Token
- Take this collected data and generate an xml CycloneDX document
- The xml file will be marked as the "viewable" file
- If project hierachy is enabled a summary document will be created
- A zip file will be created containing the spdx which will be the "downloadable" file.
- If project hierachy is enabled the report will contain information for all child projects recursively.
- Create a zip file with the viewable file and the downloadable file
- Upload this combined zip file to Code Insight via REST API
- Delete the report artifacts that were created as the script ran
