Security Researcher Detected: You might have ended up here because your site vulnerability scanner found something interesting. Hi! I'm a security engineer and I'm having a good time interacting with the people and bots that are interested in information security.

You will hopefully find this site is well-secured and I'm not interested in being hacked. I'm interested in learning about how people try to hack me, though.

Flux Helm Releases API

What an attacker could do

Exposed Flux HelmRelease resources reveal source repositories and chart values (potentially including credentials), and tampering with reconciled definitions lets an attacker deploy compromised charts via GitOps automation.

How to defend it

Restrict access with Kubernetes RBAC, store HelmRelease values referencing secrets rather than inline credentials, and verify sources with signed commits and OCI signature checks.
