internal/openvex: add initial support for identifying affected product #11

@macedogm macedogm commented Jun 23, 2024

govulncheck currently doesn't include the affected product in the OpenVEX report. Instead, it always include Unknown Product. Due to this, if the report is passed to Trivy as trivy repo --vex vex-report.json ..., no false positives will be removed, because Trivy cannot match the non affected package/version to the govulncheck report. The same also happens if Grype is used.

This implementation is certainly not perfect, but can be used as a starting point to make the generated OpenVEX report useful on an automated manner with vulnerability scanners.

When generating the purl identifier for the Go package, the v in front of the version number is removed to match what is currently supported by the Purl spec. See the upstream Purl spec issues for more information about this on going discussion package-url/purl-spec#294 and package-url/purl-spec#63.

Note: this is my first contribution to a Google/Go project and perhaps the code style isn't matching the expectations, so any feedback is appreciated.

Fixes golang/go#68152

Thanks for raising the issue. Note that this repo is a mirror and we hence don't accept pull requests.

Also, this should be a proposal. I suggest opening an issue at golang/go (not vuln) issue tracker for this.

Few things to consider in the proposal. You are choosing the product to be a module of the vulnerability. Should the product be the thing we analyzed instead? Also note that in principle a single osv can apply to multiple modules.

Here are some challenges when assigning product ID based on the artifact govulncheck analyzed. What should the product be for:

  • govulncheck ./...
  • govulncheck ./specific/package
  • govulncheck -mode binary bin, where bin is one of many binaries built from the module

Hey @zpavlinovic, thanks for your quick answer.

Thanks for raising the issue. Note that this repo is a mirror and we hence don't accept pull requests.

Yes, I saw that, but it wasn't clear if one should still submit the PR here and then follow in https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/vuln/+/594216 or if I should submit directly to Gerrit.

Also, this should be a proposal. I suggest opening an issue at golang/go (not vuln) issue tracker for this.

I made the issue golang/go#68152 when opening the PR. Is it enough or should it be more detailed?

Few things to consider in the proposal. You are choosing the product to be a module of the vulnerability. Should the product be the thing we analyzed instead? Also note that in principle a single osv can apply to multiple modules.

The product is currently the directly affected package/path and its version, so it can be properly matched following the Purl spec and Trivy's rules as described in https://aquasecurity.github.io/trivy/v0.52/docs/supply-chain/vex/#purl-matching. Note that apparently there were some upstream discussions about this in OpenVEX's spec, see in openvex/spec#27.

Here are some challenges when assigning product ID based on the artifact govulncheck analyzed. What should the product be for: (...)

From the tests that I executed, it will always be the affected package@version where the vulnerability was reported in OSV. See an example below which has the same output for both source and binary scans.

Typically, a direct Gerrit CL comes after a discussion on the proposal issue. The issue you created is fine. I suggest closing the pull requests here. We can continue the discussion on the issue.
