This critical role would not be possible without funding from the OpenSSF Alpha-Omega project. Massive thank-you to Alpha-Omega for investing in the security of the Python ecosystem!
Shorter update this week in terms of words on the page, but lots of work is contained within them!
I'm getting closer to having the end-to-end flow complete for Software Bills-of-Materials documents for specifically CPython source code artifacts. Once that's complete I'll begin branching out to support other artifacts like the Windows and macOS binary installers.
Reviewed the new draft CVE Numbering Authority rules. This document is only available for CNAs right now. I focused on representing small open source vendor CNAs (like the Python Software Foundation, curl, etc). Would like to add prevention of "junk" CVEs into the rules, so they can be dealt with more directly. Will need to update the OpenSSF CVE Numbering Authority for OSS guide once new rules are published.
That's all for this week! 👋 If you're interested in more you can read next week's report or last week's report.
