Package Information

DescriptionGo library for CSAF 2.0 security advisories (library)

The Common Security Advisory Framework (CSAF) 2.0 is the OASIS standard for machine-readable security advisories and VEX documents. This package provides the Go packages of the csaf project, which implements a CSAF trusted provider, checker, aggregator and downloader: * csaf: data types for CSAF advisories, provider metadata, aggregator documents and ROLIE feeds, validation against the CSAF 2.0 JSON schemas, which Debian reads from disk instead of compiling in because OASIS does not license them freely, and an optional remote validation service client with a local result cache; * util: helpers used by the tools, among them JSONPath evaluation on decoded JSON documents, file name and URL checks, and hashing.

Upstream states that library use is not officially supported and that the API may change. The command-line tools are in csaf-tools.

   * Initial release (Closes: #1148988)

Comment: The four OASIS CSAF 2.0 JSON schemas carry no licence of their own.
 The CSAF 2.0 OASIS Standard notice that covers them says the document "may not
 be modified in any way", which is not DFSG free, and debian-legal agreed
 (https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2026/09/msg00019.html). They are
 removed from the tarball and read from
 /usr/share/golang-github-gocsaf-csaf/schema at run time instead, so validation
 works as soon as a user installs them. See debian/README.source.

 them by csaf/generate_cvss_enums.go (see the go:generate lines in
 csaf/doc.go) and keep FIRST's notice. The generator itself is Apache-2.0
