Helm adversary

Reviews Helm charts for excessive RBAC, privileged defaults, mutable images, and dependency pinning.

Goals

The adversary is designed to produce a small number of high-confidence, actionable findings grounded in concrete repository evidence. Its review should be deterministic where possible, explicit about impact, and quiet when the available evidence does not justify a finding.

Scope

It evaluates Helm charts, templates, values, hooks, dependencies, RBAC, workload security defaults, selectors, and conditional rendering.

The complete detector or review inventory is maintained in CHECKS.md.

Boundaries

It owns this packaging or orchestration layer. Adjacent container, Kubernetes, Helm, Kustomize, and secret concerns remain with their specialist adversaries.
