TMA-GITLAB-4.4.1
Ensure artifacts contain information about their origin
Description
When delivering artifacts, ensure they have information about their origin. This may be done by providing a Software Bill of Manufacture (SBOM) or some metadata files. Information about artifact origin can be used for verification purposes. Having this kind of information allows the user to decide if the organization supplying the artifact is trusted. In a case of potential vulnerability or version update, this can be used to verify that the organization issuing it is the actual origin and not someone else. If users need to report problems with the artifact, they will have an address to contact as well.
How it is checked
Audit method: Manual review
This recommendation cannot be checked automatically. A scan lists it with these instructions when you pass --include-manual.
For each artifact, ensure it has information about its origin.
How it is fixed
Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch
For each artifact supplied, supply information about its origin. For each artifact in use, ask for information about its origin.
