Description

When I try to convert a Trivy JSON to CycloneDX, I get the following error:

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x2 addr=0x28 pc=0x10941ea6c]

Desired Behavior

a cyclonedx json file

Actual Behavior

segmentation violation error

Reproduction Steps

1. `trivy image --format cyclonedx ubuntu:latest --output /tmp/cdx_without_vulns.json`
2. `trivy sbom --format json --output /tmp/trivy_with_vulns.json /tmp/cdx_without_vulns.json`
3. `trivy convert --format cyclonedx  /tmp/trivy_with_vulns.json`
