The cargo-auditable tool makes it possible to embed SBOM (dependency) data inside binary custom sections, including Wasm Components. The way this works is that they create a custom section called .dep-v0, and encode package information in there as gzipped JSON.

While this section is not "standard" in a formal sense, it is being used in the wild and is supported by other SBOM tools such as Syft as well. I believe it would be good if we could teach wasm-metadata about possible SBOM embeddings, and allow it to surface that data.

I think in terms of the data model, we should try and associate each dependency with its respective module or component. That way we can show dependency info alongside the producer data. For this to be practical and not result in an overwhelming of output I think something like #1923 would probably be helpful to implement first.

Strong support!

On a related note, I encourage the cargo-auditable team to send a PR to tool-conventions to document their use of the .dep-v0 custom section.

We could also teach the wat package to decode/encode the gzip so that the text format is just plain json.
