Difficulty scanning software dependencies without source code access
🧭 workproduct problemSingle report ●●●●●
The original poster is struggling to implement automated vulnerability detection and SBOM generation in their CI pipeline because they require tools that do not need access to the source code.
What people do today
- Manual dependency auditing
- Using existing CI/CD plugins
- Relying on vendor-specific security tools
🔧 Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A binary-analysis tool that generates SBOMs by inspecting compiled artifacts rather than source code.
- A CI/CD integration service that scans container images or build artifacts for known vulnerabilities without requiring repository access.
- A standardized API or protocol for dependency metadata that allows security scanners to verify packages using only manifest files.
