9. Unknowns Handling

Advisory Requirement:

Track uncertainty with multi-dimensional scoring.

StellaOps Implementation: ✅ 11 Unknown Types, 5 Dimensions

Unknown Types:

  1. missing_vex - No VEX statement
  2. ambiguous_indirect_call - Unresolved call target
  3. unanalyzed_dependency - Dependency not scanned
  4. stale_sbom - SBOM age threshold exceeded
  5. missing_reachability - No reachability data
  6. unmatched_cpe - CPE lookup failed
  7. conflict_vex - Conflicting VEX statements
  8. native_code - Unanalyzed native component
  9. generated_code - Generated code boundary
  10. dynamic_dispatch - Runtime-resolved call
  11. external_boundary - External service call

Scoring Dimensions:

  4. Containment signals
  5. Time decay

Evidence:

  • src/Scanner/__Libraries/StellaOps.Scanner.Unknowns/
  • docs/architecture/signal-contract-mapping.md (Signal-14 section)

10. CycloneDX Version

Advisory Requirement:

Use CycloneDX 1.7 as baseline SBOM envelope.

StellaOps Implementation: ⚠️ Using 1.6

Aspect Status
Package Version CycloneDX.Core 10.0.2
Spec Version 1.6 (v1_7 not in SDK yet)
Upgrade Ready Yes - code prepared for v1_7 enum

Blocker: CycloneDX.Core NuGet package does not expose SpecificationVersion.v1_7 enum value.

Tracking: Sprint task 1.3 BLOCKED, awaiting library update.

Mitigation: Functional alignment maintained; 1.6 → 1.7 upgrade is non-breaking.

Areas Where StellaOps Exceeds Advisory

  1. More Predicate Types: 19 vs. advisory's implied 5-8
  2. Offline/Air-Gap Support: Full bundle-based operation
  3. Regional Crypto: GOST, SM2/SM3, PQ-safe modes
  4. Multi-Tenant: Enterprise-grade tenant isolation
  5. BLAKE3 Hashing: Faster, more secure than SHA-256
  6. Sigstore Rekor Integration: Transparency log support
  7. Native Binary Analysis: PE/ELF/Mach-O identity extraction

Remaining Gaps

Gap Priority Mitigation Timeline
CycloneDX 1.7 P2 Using 1.6, upgrade when SDK supports Q1 2026

Conclusion

StellaOps demonstrates 95% alignment with the reference advisory architecture. The single gap (CycloneDX 1.6 vs 1.7) is a library dependency issue, not an architectural limitation. Once CycloneDX.Core exposes v1_7 support, a single-line code change completes the upgrade.

Recommendation: Proceed with production deployment on current 1.6 baseline; monitor CycloneDX.Core releases for 1.7 enum availability.
