It's not an SBOM, but it would be associated with a specific instance of an
SBOM, right?

I think the relationship varies on format.  They CAN be independent or related.

So, would this be an alternative to an actual SBOM?

Patrick can say more here, but one could easily imagine an extension of CycloneDX that would contain CSAF info, and if that is the case, you wouldn't include this separate element in the MUD extension.

Would the CSAF instead point to the SBOM indirectly?
Yes.
Or would this be in addition to an SBOM?
And yes.  Depending on how the SBOM is constructed, and whether it's there at all.


Clear as mud?
