Endor Labs provides the following action policy templates that you can use to quickly create action policies. Each policy template provides parameters to help you customize the conditions under which a policy action takes place. The following template categories are available:

• Container
• GitHub Actions
• Malware
• SAST
• SCA
• Secrets
• Security Review
• Vulnerabilities

​

Container

Use these templates to define actions for findings related to container images, including vulnerabilities in base images, installed packages, and container configurations.

​

Containers

Matches container findings for vulnerabilities that meet specific parameters. The following table describes the parameters.

​

Custom (Advanced)

Allows you to define a custom action policy based on the attributes of the finding. The following table describes the parameters.

​

Finding categories

Endor Labs classifies findings into one or more of the following categories:

​

Finding types

Endor Labs classifies findings into the following types when the scanned packages include:

​

GitHub Actions

Use this template to match findings from GitHub Actions workflows, such as risky action usage or supply chain issues in your CI configuration. Enable the relevant GitHub Action finding policies so Endor Labs raises these findings. The following table describes the parameters.

​

Malware

Allows you to define the action policy to apply when a malware finding is detected, depending on its status, relationship to root packages, and ecosystem. The following table describes the parameters.

​

SAST

Allows you to define the action to take when Endor Labs raises a SAST finding.

​

SCA

Use these templates to define actions for Software Composition Analysis (SCA) findings, including vulnerabilities, outdated dependencies, unmaintained packages, license risks, and other issues in your open-source dependencies.

​

Containers

Matches container findings for vulnerabilities that meet specific parameters. The following table describes the parameters.

​

Custom (Advanced)

Allows you to define a custom action policy based on the attributes of the finding. The following table describes the parameters.

​

Malware

Allows you to define the action policy to apply when a malware finding is detected, depending on its status, relationship to root packages, and ecosystem. The following table describes the parameters.

​

Outdated Releases

Matches findings based on older versions of software or dependencies that are not actively updated. The template supports the following parameters:

​

Recently Released Dependencies (cooldown)

Matches findings for recently released dependencies. Supported configuration parameters for this action policy template are:

​

Unmaintained Dependencies

Matches findings based on dependencies that are no longer maintained or may have reached end-of-life. The template supports the following parameters:

​

Unpinned Direct Dependencies

Matches findings based on direct dependencies that do not have a version or a range of versions specified. Supported configuration parameters for this action policy template are:

​

Unreachable Direct Dependencies

Matches findings based on dependencies that are not directly used or called within a project. Supported configuration parameters for this action policy template are:

​

Vulnerabilities

Matches findings that are vulnerabilities that meet specific parameters. The following table describes the parameters.

​

Secrets

Allows you to define the action to take when Endor Labs detects a leaked secret, based on the validation status of the secret.

​

Security Review

Use these templates to define actions for security review findings that require manual assessment or additional analysis before taking action. Match security review findings. The template supports the following parameters:

​

Vulnerabilities

Use these templates to define actions for vulnerability findings, including CVEs, security advisories, and known exploits in your dependencies based on severity, exploitability, and fix availability.

​

Containers

Matches container findings for vulnerabilities that meet specific parameters. The following table describes the parameters.

​

Custom (Advanced)

Allows you to define a custom action policy based on the attributes of the finding. The following table describes the parameters.

​

Vulnerabilities

Matches findings that are vulnerabilities that meet specific parameters. The following table describes the parameters.
