An SBOM tells you what shipped, not whether it stays safe tomorrow. Pair generation with CI diffs, reachability, and an owner for remediation, or you’ve built an excellent inventory of the next surprise.

I agree with you. Recently, a car manufacturer listed a Trojan in its SBOM. Nevertheless, SBOMs can be a first step towards securing your own project. In the ‘Analysis’ section, we described how SBOMs can be used to detect malware: www.python4data.science/en/latest/pr...
