It reads CycloneDX, SPDX, and Syft SBOMs and checks listed components against vulnerability providers. ### Project history The Git repository begins in July 2022, with the first tagged public release following in August 2022. The README describes the project as a response to a practical SBOM question: after receiving a vendor SBOM for closed-source software, users need a fast way to identify component vulnerabilities and license risk. The project evolved through v0.3 and v0.4 releases in 2022 and 2023, then v0.5 in 2024. Its README labels the project beta while documenting a broad feature set around providers, output formats, ignore lists, severity filtering, data enrichment, and CI-friendly stdin scanning. ### Adoption history bomber belongs to the post-SBOM-surge security tooling ecosystem. The input package metadata lists Homebrew plus Linux distribution packages, MacPorts, Pacman, Ubuntu, and zypper, reflecting adoption as a portable security CLI rather than a library embedded in applications. ### How it is used Typical use is `bomber scan` against one SBOM file or a directory of SBOMs. The README documents OSV as the default no-credential provider, with optional GitHub Advisory Database, Sonatype OSS Index, and Snyk providers, plus stdout, HTML, JSON, and Markdown output modes. ### Why package nerds care bomber is package-nerd relevant because it treats package metadata itself as the object of security analysis. It sits downstream of SBOM generators such as Syft and normalizes vulnerability lookup across package ecosystems and advisory providers. ### Timeline - 2022-07-08: Initial repository commit. - 2022-08-22: v0.1.0 tag and initial public version. - 2022-09-19: v0.3.0 tag appears during rapid early development. - 2023-12-13: v0.4.8 tag appears. - 2024-08-15: v0.5.0 tag appears. - 2024-09-23: v0.5.1 tag appears. ### Related projects - CycloneDX, SPDX, and Syft are documented input SBOM formats. - OSV, GitHub Advisory Database, Sonatype OSS Index, and Snyk are documented vulnerability providers. - Syft is a common companion tool because it can generate an SBOM and pipe it directly into bomber. ### Sources -
