+# Endor Labs Vulnerability Scanning
+
+This repository is configured to run vulnerability scans using Endor Labs.
+
+## Overview
+
+Endor Labs provides comprehensive security scanning for:
+- **Dependency vulnerabilities**: Scans all Maven dependencies for known security issues
+- **Secret scanning**: Detects exposed credentials and secrets in code
+- **Code vulnerabilities**: Identifies security issues in the codebase
+
+## Running Scans
+
+### Automated Scans via GitHub Actions
+
+The repository includes a GitHub Actions workflow that automatically runs vulnerability scans:
+
+- **Workflow**: `.github/workflows/endor-vulnerability-scan.yml`
+- **Triggers**: 
+  - On push to main/master branches
+  - On pull requests
+  - Manual trigger via workflow_dispatch
+
+### Manual Scans
+
+To run a scan manually on your local machine:
+
+1. Ensure you have the `endorctl` CLI tool installed
+2. Set up authentication:
+   ```bash
+   export ENDOR_API_KEY="your-api-key"
+   export ENDOR_API_SECRET="your-api-secret"
+   export ENDOR_NAMESPACE="your-namespace"
+   ```
+3. Run the scan script:
+   ```bash
+   ./scan-vulnerabilities.sh
+   ```
+
+Or run endorctl directly:
+```bash
+./endorctl scan \
+  --path=. \
+  --dependencies \
+  --secrets \
+  --languages=java \
+  --output-type=summary
+```
+
+## Scan Types
+
+The vulnerability scan includes:
+
+- **Dependencies**: Scans all Maven dependencies defined in `pom.xml`
+- **Secrets**: Scans for exposed credentials, API keys, and sensitive data
+- **Languages**: Focuses on Java code analysis
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Required Secrets
+
+For GitHub Actions to work, configure these secrets in your repository:
+- `ENDOR_API_KEY`: Your Endor Labs API key
+- `ENDOR_API_SECRET`: Your Endor Labs API secret
+- `ENDOR_NAMESPACE`: Your Endor Labs namespace
+
+### Files
+
+- `scan-vulnerabilities.sh`: Shell script for running scans
+- `.github/workflows/endor-vulnerability-scan.yml`: GitHub Actions workflow
+- `.gitignore`: Configured to exclude the endorctl binary
+
+## Viewing Results
+
+Scan results are available in multiple formats:
+- Summary output in the console
+- SARIF files for integration with GitHub Security tab
+- JSON format for programmatic access
+- Detailed reports in the Endor Labs web interface
+
+## Additional Resources
+
+- [Endor Labs Documentation](https://docs.endorlabs.com/)
+- [endorctl CLI Reference](https://docs.endorlabs.com/endorctl/)
