PR Description updated to latest commit (https://github.com/subspace/infra/commit/31ba640a44663c7992d6d95f9d701aa20512339d)
β±οΈ Estimated effort to review [1-5] | 4, due to the extensive changes across multiple Kubernetes resources including configurations, roles, and deployment strategies. The PR introduces a new Helm chart which requires careful validation of templates and values to ensure they are correctly set up and do not introduce security or operational issues. |
π§ͺ Relevant tests | No |
π Possible issues | Possible Security Concern: The PR includes sensitive data handling, especially in `templates/secrets.yaml` where database credentials are managed. If not properly secured, this could lead to unauthorized access. |
Configuration Concern: The PR sets up various configurations and environment variables (like in `templates/statefulset.yaml` and `config/explorer-env-file`). Misconfigurations here could lead to application failures or security vulnerabilities. | |
π Security concerns | - Sensitive Information Exposure: The handling of PostgreSQL credentials in `templates/secrets.yaml` needs to ensure encryption and restricted access to avoid exposure. |
relevant file | explorer/k8s/helm/rewards-squid/templates/secrets.yaml |
suggestion | Ensure that the base64 encoding for secrets is securely handled and consider implementing more secure secret management practices. [important] |
relevant line | POSTGRES_PASSWORD: {{ .Values.postgres.postgresPassword | b64enc}} |
relevant file | explorer/k8s/helm/rewards-squid/templates/statefulset.yaml |
suggestion | Verify the environment variables for database connections are correctly sourced from secrets or config maps to avoid hardcoding sensitive information. [important] |
relevant line | - name: POSTGRES_PASSWORD |
relevant file | explorer/k8s/helm/rewards-squid/templates/ingress.yaml |
suggestion | Review the ingress configuration to ensure that the TLS secrets and host configurations align with security best practices, especially in production environments. [important] |
relevant line | secretName: {{ .Values.ingress.tls.secretName | quote }} |
relevant file | explorer/k8s/helm/rewards-squid/templates/configmap.yaml |

Best practice |
Use consistent and clear naming conventions for Helm templates.___ **It's a best practice to use a consistent naming convention for Helm templates. Thetemplate name rewards-squid.name should be prefixed with the chart name to avoid conflicts and improve clarity when this chart is used as a dependency.** [explorer/k8s/helm/rewards-squid/templates/_helpers.tpl [4]](https://github.com/subspace/infra/pull/304/files#diff-1edc1bbca75a5a77bc63bbe03531c0b5fa04d7c2a8eda53971728fcfe17c18c9R4-R4) ```diff -{{- define "rewards-squid.name" -}} +{{- define "rewards-squid.chart-name" -}} ``` |
Improve security by specifying the API group explicitly in role definitions.___ **Consider using a more specificapiGroups instead of [""] which defaults to the core API group. This will make the permissions more explicit and can help in maintaining security best practices.** [explorer/k8s/helm/rewards-squid/templates/roles.yaml [7-9]](https://github.com/subspace/infra/pull/304/files#diff-180ebb43ea815291b80e8fe35ba0c284ffd2ef734855dc4edb04cb8faf33fe08R7-R9) ```diff -- apiGroups: [""] +- apiGroups: ["core"] resources: ["pods"] verbs: ["get", "watch", "list"] ``` | |

Use HTTPS by default in ingress rules to enhance security.___ **To improve the security of your Helm chart, consider using HTTPS for all ingress rules bydefault, especially if sensitive data is handled.** [explorer/k8s/helm/rewards-squid/templates/ingress.yaml [5]](https://github.com/subspace/infra/pull/304/files#diff-38eb1abb2dfd8b0637a6c11dcc72b736604c0c616410f35e91bd63fa67b260b0R5-R5) ```diff -http{{ if $.Values.ingress.tls }}s{{ end }}://{{ $host.host }}{{ .path }} +https://{{ $host.host }}{{ .path }} ``` | |
Reduce the scope of verbs in role definitions to enhance security.___ **It's recommended to avoid using overly broad permissions such as["create", "update", "patch", "delete"] for resources unless absolutely necessary. Consider scoping down the permissions or splitting them into different roles for better security practices.** [explorer/k8s/helm/rewards-squid/templates/roles.yaml [36-38]](https://github.com/subspace/infra/pull/304/files#diff-180ebb43ea815291b80e8fe35ba0c284ffd2ef734855dc4edb04cb8faf33fe08R36-R38) ```diff - apiGroups: [""] resources: ["deployments"] - verbs: ["get", "list", "watch", "create", "update", "patch", "delete"] + verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"] ``` | |
Improve security by handling sensitive data properly.___ **The base64 encoding of secrets is not secure as it's merely an encoding, not encryption.It's recommended to store sensitive data securely using Kubernetes secrets management practices or external secrets management systems.** [explorer/k8s/helm/rewards-squid/templates/secrets.yaml [8-9]](https://github.com/subspace/infra/pull/304/files#diff-2444023fb66255910884d24244b5a66c05e8e375001a50bda6869f80cf70fbe0R8-R9) ```diff -POSTGRES_PASSWORD: {{ .Values.postgres.postgresPassword | b64enc}} -POSTGRES_USER: {{ .Values.postgres.postgresUser | b64enc}} +POSTGRES_PASSWORD: {{ .Values.postgres.postgresPassword }} +POSTGRES_USER: {{ .Values.postgres.postgresUser }} ``` | |

/review
β±οΈ Estimated effort to review [1-5] | 4, due to the extensive number of files and configurations involved, which includes complex Helm templates, Kubernetes resources, and security settings. The PR introduces a new Helm chart with multiple components that need careful review to ensure they are correctly configured and secure. |
π§ͺ Relevant tests | No |
β‘ Possible issues | Possible Security Issue: The `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` and `POSTGRES_USER` are base64 encoded but not encrypted in the secrets.yaml file, which might expose sensitive data if the secret is accessed. |
Configuration Concern: The `listen_addresses` in the `postgres-configmap.yaml` is set to '0.0.0.0', which might expose the PostgreSQL service to the internet if not properly secured by network policies or firewalls. | |
π Security concerns | Sensitive information exposure: Secrets like `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` are only base64 encoded, which is not secure as base64 is easily decodable. Consider encrypting these secrets or using a more secure method of storing sensitive information. |
relevant file | explorer/k8s/helm/micro-squid/templates/secrets.yaml |
suggestion | Consider using Kubernetes secret encryption or an external secrets manager to enhance the security of sensitive data like `POSTGRES_PASSWORD`. This can prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information. [important] |
relevant line | POSTGRES_PASSWORD: {{ .Values.postgres.postgresPassword | b64enc}} |
relevant file | explorer/k8s/helm/micro-squid/templates/postgres-configmap.yaml |
suggestion | Change the `listen_addresses` in the PostgreSQL configuration to listen only on localhost or a secure internal network to prevent unauthorized external access. This enhances security by reducing the potential attack surface. [important] |
relevant line | listen_addresses = '0.0.0.0' |
relevant file | explorer/k8s/helm/micro-squid/templates/ingress.yaml |
suggestion | Ensure that the ingress annotations include security headers such as HSTS and XSS protection to enhance security for clients accessing the application through ingress. [medium] |
relevant line | annotations: |
relevant file | explorer/k8s/helm/micro-squid/templates/statefulset.yaml |
suggestion | Add a startup probe to the PostgreSQL container to ensure the database is fully operational before marking it as ready, which can prevent traffic from being routed to a non-ready database instance. [medium] |
