Table of Contents

Security Reviewer – Software Composition Analysis (SCA) identifies project dependencies on 3rd-parties components directly inside your SDLC, as Jenkins Plugin, Bamboo Plugin or using the CLI Interface. Security Reviewer – Software Composition Analysis It is able to identify Java, C/C++, Ruby, Groovy, Perl, PHP, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Rust, Scala, GO, R, Kotlin, Clojure, ErLang, Shell, PowerShell, LUA and Auto-IT components along with .NET assemblies and Objective-C, Objective-C++, SWIFT support. Once identified, SCA will automatically determine if those components have known, publicly disclosed, vulnerabilities as well as licenses-related issues.Image Removedwith .NET assemblies and Objective-C, Objective-C++, SWIFT support. Once identified, SCA will automatically determine if those components have known, publicly disclosed, vulnerabilities as well as licenses-related issues.

Software Composition Analysis Desktop, Jenkins and Bamboo native plugins and CLI Interface (test on many CI/CD platforms) provide a 360 degrees solution covering all your DevOps needs. 3rd-party libraries can be analyzed (Open Source Analysis-OSA) using a shared folder located on Network File System (NFS), a Nexus Repository or JFrog Artifactory for discovering Vulnerable Libraries, Vulnerable Frameworks, Blacklisted/ Discontinued/ Outdated / Obsolete/ Deprecated libraries and frameworks. Legal issues like: Blacklisted Licenses, Licenses Conflict, No-licensed libraries, Suspicious (modified) licenses and Poor-man Copyrights are fully-detected from the tool.

**Security Reviewer’s SCA unique features

Package Managers

SCA supports several Package Managers.

...

  • As Security Reviewer integrated module. After Static Analysis completion, a complete application dependency report on 3rd-party libraries/frameworks will be available
  • As Jenkins or Bamboo plugin, it features the ability to perform a Software Composition Analysis build and later view results post build. The SCA Plugin is built using same features that the static analysis plugins offer, including thresholds, charts and the ability to view vulnerability and license information should a dependency have one identified
  • Full-tested integrations with Azure DevOps, Travis CI, Circle CI, TeamCity, CodEnvy, Chef, Ansible, Nexus, AnthillPro, GoCD, among others. Those dependencies can be scan inside your preferred Container System like Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift, MesoSphere, Rancher, Quay, Singularity, Pivotal CF and any container compliant to APPC specifications

Open source software (OSS) or free and open source software (FOSS) is computer software for which the human-readable source code is made available to the public under license terms permitting the study, modification, and distribution of the software to anyone and for any purpose. The “free” of FOSS refers to the liberty to study, modify and distribute – it does not require that it be made available without cost. The fact that OSS and FOSS can be studied, modified and distributed has created open source communities in which developers continually modify, enhance and troubleshoot the software and contribute these changes back to the community. As a result, the vast majority of enterprises use OSS components in their own proprietary software applications. Doing so brings a host of benefits, including accelerating development time, reducing costs and producing more stable and secure code. While the use of OSS has seen a significant increase over the last 10 years, compliance with the OSS license terms often has not kept up. Many users who download an OSS component may not appreciate that doing so obligates them to abide by a specific software license associated with its use. Unlike commercial software applications or software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings, click-through acceptance of OSS license terms and conditions are not typically required to gain access to the OSS code. Instead, the license terms are merely referenced on the download site or embedded in a text file within the download package. While there are hundreds of different OSS licenses, they can be broken down into a small subset of license types. They range from: the most permissive licenses, such as Berkley Software Distribution (BSD), MIT and Apache, which permit almost any use of the OSS component and simply limit warranties and disclaim liabilities; to weakly protective licenses, such as the Mozilla Public License (MPL); to the most restrictive “copyleft”-style licenses, such as the GNU General Public License (GPL) or the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). Copyleft licenses can require that any software with which they are packaged must also be distributed under the same copyleft license terms. Use of the more restrictive licenses can therefore have a viral effect, requiring disclosure of, and permitting third parties to use, the source code of one’s own proprietary code. Further, different licenses impose different requirements on modification and distribution of the OSS component. For example, the LGPL license requires users to distribute the source code (or otherwise make it available) if they distribute the OSS component to third parties. Other license types require that users identify changes they have made to the OSS component in a header or other text file included in the distribution package.

...

Security Reviewer – Composition Analysis module can scan your software code and, using sophisticated pattern  matching matching algorithms, identify the various OSS components present in your software code. While some vendors require that source code be uploaded to their cloud environment for processing, Security Reviewer can operate entirely on-premises and using hashed values of the source code to avoid the risk of source code disclosure outside the enterprise. Unless an enterprise is in the early stages of its development process or has kept an accurate running list of OSS components, the automated process will be far more accurate and complete. Further, in more and more significant financing and M&A transactions, the investors or acquirers themselves are using such automated tools as part of the due diligence process, so to simply assume that the manual inventory process will be “good enough” may be misguided. Representing compliance and possession of an accurate list of OSS components, only to later find out from a counterparty using an automated tool that this is not the case, can be just as bad, if not worse, than not having completed an audit at all.
