PR Review

⏱️ 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.
🧪 Relevant tests	No
🔍 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.
🔒 Security concerns	- Sensitive Information Exposure: The handling of PostgreSQL credentials in templates/secrets.yaml needs to ensure encryption and restricted access to avoid exposure.

PR Code Suggestions

Category	Suggestions
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. The template 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] -{{- define "rewards-squid.name" -}} +{{- define "rewards-squid.chart-name" -}}
	Improve security by specifying the API group explicitly in role definitions. Consider using a more specific apiGroups 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] -- apiGroups: [""] +- apiGroups: ["core"] resources: ["pods"] verbs: ["get", "watch", "list"]
Security	Specify the apiGroup in roleRef to target the correct API group. To enhance security, specify the apiGroup for the roleRef in the ClusterRoleBinding to ensure it targets the correct API group, especially when custom roles or extensions are used. explorer/k8s/helm/rewards-squid/templates/clusterroles.yaml [12-14] roleRef: kind: ClusterRole name: secret-reader + apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
	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 by default, especially if sensitive data is handled. explorer/k8s/helm/rewards-squid/templates/ingress.yaml [5] -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] - 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] -POSTGRES_PASSWORD: {{ .Values.postgres.postgresPassword | b64enc}} -POSTGRES_USER: {{ .Values.postgres.postgresUser | b64enc}} +POSTGRES_PASSWORD: {{ .Values.postgres.postgresPassword }} +POSTGRES_USER: {{ .Values.postgres.postgresUser }}
Possible issue	Ensure consistent spacing in ConfigMap keys to avoid parsing errors. To avoid potential configuration errors, ensure that spaces are consistent in the ConfigMap keys. The key POSTGRES_HOST has an extra space before the colon which could lead to issues when parsing the key. explorer/k8s/helm/rewards-squid/templates/configmap.yaml [11] -POSTGRES_HOST : {{ .Values.postgres.postgresHost }} +POSTGRES_HOST: {{ .Values.postgres.postgresHost }}
Maintainability	Use variables instead of hard-coded values in PersistentVolume configurations. For better maintainability and to avoid hard-coded values, use a variable for the volumeHandle in the PersistentVolume configuration to allow easy updates and environment-specific configurations. explorer/k8s/helm/rewards-squid/templates/pv.yaml [15] -volumeHandle: fs-073d77123471b2917 +volumeHandle: {{ .Values.persistence.volumeHandle }}
	Enhance flexibility by parameterizing the namespace in the ServiceAccount name. Using a hardcoded namespace in the ServiceAccount name could lead to conflicts or deployment issues in environments with different namespaces. Consider parameterizing the namespace part of the ServiceAccount name. explorer/k8s/helm/rewards-squid/templates/statefulset.yaml [21] -serviceAccountName: {{ include "rewards-squid.serviceAccountName" . }} +serviceAccountName: {{ include "rewards-squid.serviceAccountName" . }}-{{ .Values.namespace | quote }}
Performance	Optimize image pulling by using cached images when available. The imagePullPolicy is set to Always, which can lead to unnecessary pulling of images. Consider using IfNotPresent to utilize the cached images when available, which can reduce network bandwidth and speed up the deployment process. explorer/k8s/helm/rewards-squid/templates/statefulset.yaml [27] -imagePullPolicy: {{ .Values.image.pullPolicy | quote }} +imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent

PR Review 🔍

⏱️ 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.
🧪 Relevant tests	No
⚡ 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.
🔒 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.

Code feedback:

---

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]
