Bitbucket Pipelines Pipe: CycloneDX npm/node sBOM Generator

A Bitbucket Pipe which generates a CycloneDX compliant Software Bill of Materials for a node/npm project.

For obvious reason the official copy this project is hosted on Bitbucket. In order to reach a diverse audience a copy of the repo also exists in GitHub. It is recommended to submit Pull Requests to the Bitbucket copy, however submissions to either copy will be synced.

YAML Definition

The following is an example of a bitbucket pipeline which installs npm dependencies and caches those dependencies in one step then uses those cached depdencies in the next step to build a CycloneDX sBOM. The following code snip would need to be added to the bitbucket-pipelines.yml file

pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
        name: Build and Test
        caches:
          - node
        script:
          - npm install
          - npm test
    - step:
        name: Gen CycloneDX sBom
        caches:
          - node
        script:
          - pipe: docker://ccideas/cyclonedx-npm-pipe:1.5.0
            variables:
              IGNORE_NPM_ERRORS: 'true' # optional
              NPM_SHORT_PURLS: 'true' # optional
              NPM_OUTPUT_FORMAT: 'json' # optional
              NPM_PACKAGE_LOCK_ONLY: 'false' # optional
              OUTPUT_DIRECTORY: 'build' # optional # this dir should be archived by the pipeline
        artifacts:
          - build/*

Variables

Variable	Usage	Options	Default
IGNORE_NPM_ERRORS	Used to ignore any npm errors when generating the report	true, false	false
NPM_FLATTEN_COMPONENTS	Used to specify if the components should be flattened	true, false	false
NPM_SHORT_PURLS	Used to specify if qualifiers from PackageURLs should be shortened	true, false	false
NPM_OUTPUT_REPRODUCIBLE	Used to specify if the output should be reproducible	true, false	false
NPM_SPEC_VERSION	Used to specify the version of the CycloneDX spec	1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5	1.4
NPM_MC_TYPE	Used to specify the type of main component	application, firmware, library	application
NPM_OMIT	Used to omit specific dependency types	dev, optional, peer	none
NPM_OUTPUT_FORMAT	Used to specify output format of the sBOM	json, xml	json
NPM_PACKAGE_LOCK_ONLY	Used to use only the package-lock.json file to find dependencies	true, false	false
OUTPUT_DIRECTORY	Used to specify the directory to place all output im		sbom_output

Details

Generates a CycloneDX compliant Software Bill of Materials for a node/npm project. The generated sBOM will be created in the sbom-output directory and be named ${BITBUCKET_REPO_SLUG}-sbom.json

Prerequisites

npm dependencies must be installed first. It is advised to install npm dependencies in one step then archive them, so they can be read by the pipe. See the example below.

Example

A working pipeline for the popular auditjs tool has been created as an example. The pipeline in this fork of the auditjs tool will install the required dependencies then generate a CycloneDX sBOM containing all the ingredients which make up the product.
