Open Source Procedural Policy policy-controller Reference SBOM

The Sigstore Policy Controller allows users to create their own security policies that they can be enforced on Kuberenetes clusters. Here are a few example policies to help you get started.

You may also review the Sigstore Policy Controller documentation. In particular, we encourage you to review the Policy Controller documentation relating to the Admission of images to learn how to admit images through the cluster image policy.

Policy enforcing signed containers 

apiVersion: policy.sigstore.dev/v1beta1
kind: ClusterImagePolicy
metadata:
  name: signed-keyless
spec:
  images:
    # All images
    - glob: "**"
  authorities:
    - keyless:
        url: https://fulcio.sigstore.dev
      ctlog:
        url: https://rekor.sigstore.dev

Examples using Chainguard Images from the Chainguard Registry or the GitHub Container Registry, respectively:

...
  images:
    - glob: cgr.dev/chainguard/**
    - glob: ghcr.io/chainguard-images/**
...

An example using Docker Hub images:

...
  images:
    - glob: "index.docker.io/*"
    - glob: "index.docker.io/*/*"
...

An example using Google Cloud Registry:

...
  images:
    - glob: gcr.io/your-image-here/*
...

Policy enforcing signer identity through an OIDC provider and subject 

apiVersion: policy.sigstore.dev/v1beta1
kind: ClusterImagePolicy
metadata:
  name: enforce-signer-oidc
spec:
  images:
    - glob: "**"
  authorities:
    - keyless:
        identities: # <<<-- REPLACE the following with your OIDC provider & subject --> #
          - issuer: https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com
            subject: https://github.com/chainguard-dev/gke-demo/.github/workflows/release.yaml@refs/heads/main

An alternate issuer and subject:

...
      - issuer: https://accounts.google.com
        subject: your-gmail@gmail.com

Policy enforcing that images have a signed SPDX SBOM attestation from a custom key

This policy asserts that all images must have a signed SPDX SBOM attestation from a custom key.

apiVersion: policy.sigstore.dev/v1beta1
kind: ClusterImagePolicy
metadata:
  name: custom-key-attestation-sbom-spdxjson
spec:
  images:
    - glob: gcr.io/your-image-here/*
  authorities:
    - name: custom-key
      key:
        data: |
          -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
          ...
          -----END PUBLIC KEY-----
      attestations:
        - name: must-have-spdxjson
          predicateType: spdxjson
          policy:
            type: cue
            data: |
              predicateType: "https://spdx.dev/Document"

Set the POLICY and IMAGES environment variables appropriately, pointing to the sample policy and the image you would like to test.

POLICY="policies/custom-key-attestation-sbom-spdxjson.yaml"

Generate an SPDX SBOM, then attach the SBOM to your image:

cosign attest --type spdxjson

Next, sign it with a private key (for example, one located in a keys directory as in keys/cosign.key).

export COSIGN_PASSWORD=""

cosign attest --yes --type spdxjson \
  --predicate sboms/example.spdx.json \
  --key keys/cosign.key \
  "${IMAGE}"

Policy enforcing that releases are signed by GitHub Actions 

apiVersion: policy.sigstore.dev/v1beta1
kind: ClusterImagePolicy
metadata:
  name: image-is-signed-by-github-actions
spec:
  images:
    # This is the release v0.3.0
    - glob: "gcr.io/projectsigstore/policy-webhook@sha256:d1e7af59381793687db4673277005276eb73a06cf555503138dd18eaa1ca47d6"
  authorities:
    - keyless:
        # Signed by Fulcio
        url: https://fulcio.sigstore.dev
        identities:
          # Matches the Github Actions OIDC issuer
          - issuer: https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com
            # Matches a specific GitHub workflow on main branch. Here we use the
            # Sigstore policy controller example testing workflow as an example.
            subject: "https://github.com/sigstore/policy-controller/.github/workflows/release.yaml@refs/tags/v0.3.0"

    - glob: gcr.io/gke-release/*
  authorities:
    - static:
        action: pass
