# Function-Level Evidence Guide
|
||||
|
||||
_Last updated: 2025-12-13. Owner: Docs Guild._
|
||||
|
||||
This guide documents the cross-module function-level evidence chain that enables provable reachability claims. It covers the schema, identifiers, API usage, CLI commands, and integration patterns for Scanner, Signals, Policy, and Replay.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Overview
|
||||
|
||||
StellaOps implements a **function-level evidence chain** that anchors every vulnerability finding to immutable identifiers (`code_id`, `symbol_id`, `graph_hash`) enabling:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Provable reachability:** Deterministic call-path evidence from entry points to vulnerable functions.
|
||||
- **Stripped binary support:** `code_id` + `code_block_hash` provides identity when symbols are absent.
|
||||
- **Evidence replay:** Sealed artifacts with DSSE attestation allow offline verification.
|
||||
- **Cross-module linking:** Scanner -> Signals -> Policy -> VEX -> UI/CLI evidence chain.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.1 Core Identifiers
|
||||
|
||||
| Identifier | Format | Purpose | Example |
|
||||
|------------|--------|---------|---------|
|
||||
| `symbol_id` | `sym:{lang}:{base64url}` | Canonical function identity | `sym:java:R3JlZXRpbmc...` |
|
||||
| `code_id` | `code:{lang}:{base64url}` | Identity for name-less code blocks | `code:binary:YWJjZGVm...` |
|
||||
| `graph_hash` | `blake3:{hex}` | Content-addressable graph identity | `blake3:a1b2c3d4e5f6...` |
|
||||
| `symbol_digest` | `sha256:{hex}` | Hash of symbol_id for edge linking | `sha256:e5f6a7b8c9d0...` |
|
||||
| `build_id` | `gnu-build-id:{hex}` | ELF/PE debug identifier | `gnu-build-id:5f0c7c3c...` |
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.2 Evidence Chain Flow
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Scanner -> richgraph-v1 -> Signals -> Scoring -> Policy -> VEX -> UI/CLI
|
||||
| | | | | | |
|
||||
| | | | | | +-- stella graph explain
|
||||
| | | | | +-- OpenVEX with call-path proofs
|
||||
| | | | +-- Policy gates + reachability.state
|
||||
| | | +-- Lattice state + confidence + riskScore
|
||||
| | +-- Runtime facts + static paths
|
||||
| +-- BLAKE3 graph_hash + DSSE attestation
|
||||
+-- code_id, symbol_id, build_id per node
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Schema Reference
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.1 SymbolID Construction
|
||||
|
||||
Per-language canonical tuple format (NUL-separated, then SHA-256 -> base64url):
|
||||
|
||||
| Language | Tuple Components | Example |
|
||||
|----------|------------------|---------|
|
||||
| Java | `{package}\0{class}\0{method}\0{descriptor}` | `com.example\0Foo\0bar\0(Ljava/lang/String;)V` |
|
||||
| .NET | `{assembly}\0{namespace}\0{type}\0{member_signature}` | `MyApp\0Controllers\0UserController\0GetById(int)` |
|
||||
| Go | `{module}\0{package}\0{receiver}\0{func}` | `github.com/user/repo\0handler\0*Server\0Handle` |
|
||||
| Node | `{pkg_or_path}\0{export_path}\0{kind}` | `lodash\0get\0function` |
|
||||
| Binary | `{file_hash}\0{section}\0{addr}\0{name}\0{linkage}\0{code_block_hash?}` | `sha256:abc...\0.text\00x401000\0ssl3_read\0global\0` |
|
||||
| Python | `{pkg_or_path}\0{module}\0{qualified_name}` | `requests\0api\0get` |
|
||||
| Ruby | `{gem_or_path}\0{module}\0{method}` | `rails\0ActionController::Base\0render` |
|
||||
| PHP | `{composer_pkg}\0{namespace}\0{qualified_name}` | `symfony/http-kernel\0Kernel\0handle` |
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.2 CodeID Construction
|
||||
|
||||
For stripped binaries or name-less code blocks:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
code:{lang}:{base64url_sha256(format + file_hash + addr + length + section + code_block_hash)}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Example for stripped ELF:
|
||||
```
|
||||
code:binary:YWJjZGVmZ2hpamtsbW5vcHFyc3R1dnd4eXo
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.3 Graph Node Schema
|
||||
|
||||
Each node in a richgraph-v1 document includes:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"id": "sym:java:R3JlZXRpbmdTZXJ2aWNl...",
|
||||
"symbol_id": "sym:java:R3JlZXRpbmdTZXJ2aWNl...",
|
||||
"code_id": "code:java:...",
|
||||
"lang": "java",
|
||||
"kind": "method",
|
||||
"display": "com.example.GreetingService.greet(String)",
|
||||
"purl": "pkg:maven/com.example/greeting-service@1.0.0",
|
||||
"build_id": "gnu-build-id:5f0c7c3c...",
|
||||
"symbol_digest": "sha256:e5f6a7b8...",
|
||||
"code_block_hash": "sha256:deadbeef...",
|
||||
"symbol": {
|
||||
"mangled": null,
|
||||
"demangled": "com.example.GreetingService.greet(String)",
|
||||
"source": "DWARF",
|
||||
"confidence": 0.98
|
||||
},
|
||||
"evidence": ["import", "bytecode"],
|
||||
"attributes": {}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.4 Graph Edge Schema
|
||||
|
||||
Edges carry callee `purl` and `symbol_digest` for SBOM correlation:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"from": "sym:java:caller...",
|
||||
"to": "sym:java:callee...",
|
||||
"kind": "call",
|
||||
"purl": "pkg:maven/org.apache.logging.log4j/log4j-core@2.14.1",
|
||||
"symbol_digest": "sha256:f1e2d3c4...",
|
||||
"confidence": 0.92,
|
||||
"evidence": ["bytecode", "import"],
|
||||
"candidates": []
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.5 Evidence Block Schema
|
||||
|
||||
Evidence blocks in Policy/VEX responses cite all relevant identifiers:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"evidence": {
|
||||
"graph_hash": "blake3:a1b2c3d4e5f6...",
|
||||
"graph_cas_uri": "cas://reachability/graphs/a1b2c3d4e5f6...",
|
||||
"dsse_uri": "cas://reachability/graphs/a1b2c3d4e5f6....dsse",
|
||||
"path": [
|
||||
{"symbol_id": "sym:java:...", "display": "main()"},
|
||||
{"symbol_id": "sym:java:...", "display": "processRequest()"},
|
||||
{"symbol_id": "sym:java:...", "display": "log4j.error()"}
|
||||
],
|
||||
"path_length": 3,
|
||||
"confidence": 0.85,
|
||||
"runtime_hits": ["probe:jfr:1234"],
|
||||
"analyzer": {
|
||||
"name": "scanner.java",
|
||||
"version": "1.2.0",
|
||||
"toolchain_digest": "sha256:..."
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 5. OpenVEX Integration
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.1 OpenVEX with Reachability Evidence
|
||||
|
||||
When Policy emits VEX decisions, reachability evidence is included:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"@context": "https://openvex.dev/ns/v0.2.0",

|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.2 VEX "not_affected" with Unreachability Evidence
|
||||
|
||||
When code is provably unreachable:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"statements": [
|
||||
{
|
||||

## 6. Replay Manifest v2
|
||||
|
||||
### 6.1 Manifest Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Replay manifests now enforce BLAKE3 hashing and CAS registration:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"schema": "stellaops.replay.manifest@v2",
|
||||
"subject": "scan:123",
|
||||
"generatedAt": "2025-12-13T10:00:00Z",

|
||||
"dsseUri": "cas://reachability/graphs/blake3:a1b2c3d4e5f6....dsse"
|
||||
},

"analyzer": {
|
||||
"name": "scanner.java",

|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 6.2 Determinism Verification
|
||||
|
||||
Replay a manifest to verify determinism:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
stella replay verify --manifest ./manifest.json --sealed
|
||||
|
||||
# Output:
|
||||
Manifest: stellaops.replay.manifest@v2
|
||||
Subject: scan:123
|
||||
Artifacts: 3
|
||||
|
||||
Verifying richgraph...

## 7. Module Integration Guide
|
||||
|
||||
### 7.1 Scanner -> Signals
|
||||
|
||||
Scanner emits richgraph-v1 with `code_id` and `symbol_id`:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Scanner analyzes container/artifact
|
||||
2. Callgraph generators emit nodes with `symbol_id`, `code_id`, `build_id`
|
||||
3. RichGraphWriter canonicalizes (sorted arrays/keys) and computes `graph_hash` (BLAKE3)
|
||||
4. DSSE signer wraps canonical JSON
|
||||
5. CAS store persists body + envelope
|
||||
6. Signals ingestion API receives URI reference
|
||||
|
||||
### 7.2 Signals -> Policy
|
||||
|
||||
Signals provides reachability facts to Policy:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Policy queries `/signals/facts/{subjectKey}`
|
||||
2. Response includes `metadata.fact.digest`, `states[]`, `score`
|
||||
3. Policy gates check `latticeState` (U, SR, SU, RO, RU, CR, CU, X)
|
||||
4. Evidence blocks in findings reference `graph_hash`, `path[]`, `runtime_hits[]`
|
||||
|
||||
### 7.3 Policy -> VEX/UI
|
||||
|
||||
Policy emits OpenVEX with evidence:
|
||||
|
||||
1. VexDecisionEmitter serializes OpenVEX with `stellaops:reachability` extension
|
||||
2. UI explain drawer fetches evidence via `/api/policy/findings/{id}/explain`
|
||||
3. CLI `stella graph explain` renders call path and attestation refs
