FDA-NTIA-006 warning
Author of the SBOM data is present
- Severity
- warningAn NTIA baseline attribute. The guidance frames these as 'should', and in practice a missing baseline attribute returns as a review deficiency or an eSTAR technical screening hold rather than a refusal, so it costs weeks rather than the filing.
- Applies to
- cyclonedx, spdx
- Selector
{"cyclonedx":"$.metadata","spdx":"$.creationInfo"}- On an empty selector
- fireThe selector names a specific object the assertion inspects. When that object is absent the information the rule exists to check was not supplied at all, which is a stronger failure than supplying it badly. Reporting nothing would make a missing section indistinguishable from a satisfied one.
- Fix
- Name the entity that generated the SBOM.
- Source
- ntia-2021: Minimum elements, baseline attributes table
- Note
- NTIA 2021 BASELINE, not CISA 2026. FDA has not adopted the 2026 element set. SPDX carries creators as strings of the form 'Organization: X' or 'Tool: y-1.0', not as objects. The acronym and version checks in the CycloneDX branch are applied to the parsed suffix by the engine, not by this assert.
