The specification for External Reference types has many [type options](https://github.com/spdx/spdx-3-model/blob/main/model/Core/Vocabularies/ExternalRefType.md), a large handful of which pertain specifically to security use cases: -* secureSoftwareAttestation: A reference to information assuring that the software is developed using security practices as defined by [NIST SP 800-218 Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF)](https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-218/final) or [CISA Secure Software Development Attestation Form](https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/2023-04/secure-software-self-attestation_common-form_508.pdf). -* securityAdvisory: A reference to a published security advisory (where advisory as defined per ISO 29147:2018) that may affect one or more elements, e.g., vendor advisories or specific NVD entries. -* securityAdversaryModel: A reference to the security adversary model for a package. -* securityFix: A reference to the patch or source code that fixes a vulnerability. -* securityOther: A reference to related security information of unspecified type. -* securityPenTestReport: A reference to a [penetration test](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penetration_test) report for a package. -* securityPolicy: A reference to instructions for reporting newly discovered security vulnerabilities for a package. -* securityThreatModel: A reference the [security threat model](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threat_model) for a package. -* vulnerabilityDisclosureReport: A reference to a Vulnerability Disclosure Report (VDR) which provides the software supplier's analysis and findings describing the impact (or lack of impact) that reported vulnerabilities have on packages or products in the supplier's SBOM as defined in [NIST SP 800-161](https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-161/rev-1/final). -* vulnerabilityExploitabilityAssessment: A reference to a Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange (VEX) statement which provides information on whether a product is impacted by a specific vulnerability in an included package and, if affected, whether there are actions recommended to remediate. +* secureSoftwareAttestation +* securityAdvisory +* securityAdversaryModel +* securityFix +* securityOther +* securityPenTestReport +* securityPolicy +* securityThreatModel +* vulnerabilityDisclosureReport +* vulnerabilityExploitabilityAssessment -SPDX 3.0 also has the concept of [__External Identifier__](https://github.com/spdx/spdx-3-model/blob/main/model/Core/Classes/ExternalIdentifier.md) which should be used to "...". +SPDX 3.0 also has the concept of [__External Identifier__](https://github.com/spdx/spdx-3-model/blob/main/model/Core/Classes/ExternalIdentifier.md) which should be used in cases where an identifier scheme exists and is already defined for an Element outside of SPDX-3.0. There are several External Identifier [types](https://github.com/spdx/spdx-3-model/blob/main/model/Core/Vocabularies/ExternalIdentifierType.md) that may be used in a security context: -* cpe22: https://cpe.mitre.org/files/cpe-specification_2.2.pdf -* cpe23: https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/Legacy/IR/nistir7695.pdf -* cve: An identifier for a specific software flaw defined within the official CVE Dictionary and that conforms to the CVE specification as defined by https://csrc.nist.gov/glossary/term/cve_id. -* securityOther: Used when there is a security related identifier of unspecified type. +* cpe22 +* cpe23 +* cve +* cwe +* securityOther This section provides usage scenarios of how to leverage the Security External References and External Identifiers specified above to refer to external security information. Examples of how to use each category can be found in the [Security/Classes](https://github.com/spdx/spdx-3-model/tree/main/model/Security/Classes) pages.
