When researchers analyzed how Pegasus spyware infected iPhones without the user tapping anything, they found something wild. The attackers sent an iMessage with a fake GIF that targeted Apple's image decompression engine. The decompression math was so flexible that the exploit

Code Audit & Software Supply Chain Security

Problem Statement

Organizations must maintain Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) inventories to comply with cybersecurity regulations (e.g., Executive Order 14028). Manually verifying compliance across thousands of open-source software licenses (e.g., GPL-3.0 vs. MIT) takes significant effort.

Goal

Build an agent that ingests CycloneDX or SPDX SBOM files, identifies restrictive viral licenses (e.g., GPL), and cross-references dependencies against vulnerability databases.

Outcome Measurement

  1. License Compliance Rate: 100% detection of open-source license violations in commercial software builds.
  2. SBOM Generation Velocity: Automated SBOM risk assessment in under 10 seconds per project release.

How the Code was Built

Ingests SBOM component lists and evaluates license risk compatibility against company distribution policies.
