Endor Labs vs Secretlint

Endor Labs is an application security platform spanning code, secrets, dependencies, container images and coding agents. AURI for Developers helps scan for vulnerabilities, detect secrets and block malicious dependencies in AI coding workflows. Endor Code provides AI SAST and secrets detection; Endor Open Source adds reachability-based SCA, malicious-package detection, AI model governance, and SBOM and VEX generation. The platform can inventory coding agents, models, MCP servers and skills, then enforce policies on agent actions. Integrations include GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, CircleCI, Jenkins, Jira, Slack, Vanta, Cursor, Claude, Gemini and GitHub Copilot. Scans can run through cloud apps, inside CI/CD runners or with Endor Outpost for scheduled monitoring and on-premises deployment. The company says cloud scanning briefly clones code into a container that is destroyed after scanning, while CI/CD scanning keeps code in the runner. The free Developer tier supports local scans and read-only vulnerability data, but has no UI, policies or scan history. Paid plans are seat-based and require contacting sales for pricing.

Secretlint is a free, MIT-licensed, open-source linting tool for finding credentials in projects and helping prevent commits that contain them. Its command-line interface scans files, glob patterns, or standard input. Detection rules are separate modules, and custom rules can be distributed as npm packages. Secret values are masked in lint error messages by default, reducing exposure in terminal output and logs. Secretlint supports Git workflows, including pre-commit integrations with Husky and lint-staged, pre-commit, and Git hooks. Documentation covers GitHub Actions checks and pull-request annotations through the GitHub formatter. Listed integrations also include Mega-Linter, SARIF formatting, a browser extension, and a macOS clipboard app. The WebExtension works with Chrome and Firefox DevTools to help notice credentials in requests and responses. Installation options include Node.js, Docker, or a single executable without Node.js; the Node.js route requires version 22 or later. It detects secrets but does not automatically fix them.
