CSAF Trusted Provider¶
[!NOTE] Required license feature:
csaf
The CSAF Trusted Provider capability lets your organisation publish Common Security Advisory Framework (CSAF) advisories from TrustSource in a way that meets the requirements of the OASIS CSAF Trusted Provider program — making your advisories machine-readable, discoverable through the trusted-provider directory, and consumable by downstream automated tooling.
What this capability adds¶
- CSAF document editor with structured tabs for metadata, affected products, remediation steps and revision history.
- Bulk advisory generation from a module's SBOM, producing one CSAF document per known vulnerability in a single action.
- Trusted-Provider publication pipeline — signed JSON output, provider-metadata file, ROLIE feed, and TLP-aware distribution channels configurable per advisory.
- Integration with the CVD capability so external vulnerability reports can flow directly into a CSAF advisory.
