SBOM

Abbreviation for Software Bill of Materials

In short and in plain language

An SBOM is a list of all the parts of a piece of software.

These include libraries and add-ons with their versions.

When a new security hole becomes known, the list helps. It shows more clearly whether a shop is affected.
