# StellaOps Release Notes: Score Proofs & Reachability
**Epic:** 3500 - Score Proofs and Deterministic Replay
**Release Version:** 1.0.0
**Release Date:** 2025-12-20
---
## Overview
This release introduces **Score Proofs** and **Reachability Analysis**, two transformative features that bring cryptographic verifiability and intelligent prioritization to vulnerability scanning. Together, these features enable organizations to prove compliance, reduce alert fatigue, and focus on vulnerabilities that actually matter.
---
## Feature Highlights
### Score Proofs: Verifiable Vulnerability Scores
Score Proofs provide cryptographic evidence that vulnerability scores can be independently verified and reproduced.
**Key Capabilities:**
| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **Scan Manifests** | Content-addressed records of all scan inputs (SBOM, advisories, VEX, call graphs) |
| **Proof Bundles** | DSSE-signed bundles with attestations for audit compliance |
| **Deterministic Replay** | Re-execute scans with original inputs to verify results |
| **Proof Ledger** | Append-only chain for tamper-evident audit trails |
| **Transparency Integration** | Optional anchoring to Sigstore Rekor for public verifiability |
**Use Cases:**
- Audit compliance (SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA)
- Dispute resolution with vendors
- Regulatory evidence collection
- CI/CD pipeline traceability
### Reachability Analysis: Focus on What Matters
Reachability Analysis determines whether vulnerable code is actually invoked during program execution.
**Key Capabilities:**
| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **Call Graph Integration** | Upload and analyze application call graphs |
| **BFS Path Finding** | Efficient breadth-first search from entrypoints to vulnerabilities |
| **Confidence Scoring** | Quantified certainty (0-1) based on path quality |
| **Explain Queries** | Detailed explanations of why code is (or isn't) reachable |
| **Runtime Evidence** | Optional runtime traces for proven reachability |
**Reachability Statuses:**
| Status | Meaning | Typical Action |
|--------|---------|---------------|
| `UNREACHABLE` | No path exists | Safe to deprioritize |
| `POSSIBLY_REACHABLE` | Path with heuristic edges | Review |
| `REACHABLE_STATIC` | Statically proven path | Prioritize fix |
| `REACHABLE_PROVEN` | Runtime confirmed | Fix immediately |
| `UNKNOWN` | Insufficient data | Improve call graph |
**Impact:** Typically reduces actionable vulnerabilities by 80-90%.
### Unknowns Registry: Track Your Blind Spots
The Unknowns Registry tracks components that cannot be fully analyzed.
**Key Capabilities:**
| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **2-Factor Ranking** | Priority based on vulnerability potential × impact potential |
| **Category Classification** | unmapped_purl, checksum_miss, language_gap, etc. |
| **Triage Workflows** | Escalate, resolve, or suppress with documentation |
| **Bulk Operations** | Process multiple unknowns efficiently |

# StellaOps v2.5.0 Release Notes
**Release Date:** 2025-12-20
**Epic:** 3500 - Score Proofs & Reachability Analysis
---
## Highlights
This release introduces three major capabilities that transform vulnerability management from alert enumeration to actionable intelligence:
🔐 **Score Proofs** - Cryptographic attestations proving vulnerability scores are deterministic and reproducible
🎯 **Reachability Analysis** - Static analysis determining whether vulnerable code is actually reachable
📋 **Unknowns Management** - Systematic tracking of components that cannot be fully analyzed
---
## New Features
### Score Proofs
Score Proofs provide cryptographic evidence that vulnerability scores can be independently verified and reproduced.
**Key Capabilities:**
- **Deterministic Scoring**: Same inputs always produce identical outputs
- **DSSE Attestations**: Cryptographically signed proof bundles
- **Merkle Tree Verification**: Individual finding verification without full replay
- **Audit Trail**: Complete provenance from inputs to findings
- **Optional Transparency Logging**: Integration with Sigstore Rekor
**CLI Commands:**
```bash
# Generate scan with proof
stella scan --sbom ./sbom.json --generate-proof
# Verify a proof
stella proof verify ./proof.dsse
# Replay a scan
stella score replay ./bundle/ --verify
# Inspect proof contents
stella proof inspect ./proof.dsse
```
**API Endpoints:**
- `GET /api/v1/scans/{id}/proof` - Retrieve proof bundle
- `POST /api/v1/proofs/verify` - Verify a proof
- `POST /api/v1/scans/{id}/replay` - Replay a scan
### Reachability Analysis
Reachability Analysis determines whether vulnerable code paths can actually be executed in your application.
**Key Capabilities:**
- **Call Graph Generation**: Static analysis of source code
- **BFS Path Tracing**: Efficient reachability computation
- **Confidence Scoring**: Graduated verdict levels
- **Path Explanation**: Exact call chain from entry to vulnerability
- **Multi-Language Support**: Java, JavaScript, Python, Go, C#
**Reachability Verdicts:**
| Verdict | Meaning | Recommended Action |
|---------|---------|-------------------|
| `REACHABLE_STATIC` | Code path exists | Prioritize fix |
| `POSSIBLY_REACHABLE` | May be reachable | Review manually |
| `NOT_REACHABLE` | No execution path | Lower priority |
| `UNKNOWN` | Cannot determine | Manual analysis |
**CLI Commands:**
```bash
# Generate call graph
stella scan graph ./src --output ./callgraph.json
# Scan with reachability
stella scan --sbom ./sbom.json --call-graph ./callgraph.json --reachability
# Query reachability results
stella reachability query --filter "verdict=REACHABLE_STATIC"
# Explain a path
stella reachability explain --cve CVE-2024-1234
```
**API Endpoints:**
- `POST /api/v1/callgraphs` - Upload call graph
- `GET /api/v1/scans/{id}/reachability` - Get reachability results
- `GET /api/v1/reachability/{id}/explain` - Get path explanation
### Unknowns Queue Management
The Unknowns Queue systematically tracks components that cannot be fully analyzed.
**Key Capabilities:**
- **Categorized Tracking**: Package, vulnerability, and format unknowns
- **Triage Workflows**: PENDING → TRIAGING → RESOLVED states
- **Bulk Operations**: Efficient handling of large backlogs
- **Pattern Matching**: Auto-classify internal packages
- **Metrics & Alerting**: Monitor coverage gaps
**CLI Commands:**
```bash
# List unknowns
stella unknowns list --state pending
# View details
stella unknowns show <unknown-id>
# Resolve an unknown
stella unknowns resolve <id> --resolution internal_package
# Bulk operations
stella unknowns bulk-resolve --filter "ecosystem=internal"
# Statistics
stella unknowns stats --by-reason
```
**API Endpoints:**
- `GET /api/v1/unknowns` - List unknowns
- `GET /api/v1/unknowns/{id}` - Get unknown details
- `POST /api/v1/unknowns/{id}/resolve` - Resolve unknown
- `GET /api/v1/unknowns/stats` - Queue statistics
