WalkthroughChangesThe repository adds Ansible provisioning for a Debian 13 ARM64 K3s node. It configures storage and host security, installs K3s, schedules control-plane backups, bootstraps Flux, reconciles infrastructure manifests, and validates the deployment through Ansible and GitHub Actions.

Priority: ➖ Normal Change: Feature Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to Generic workloads cannot use host networking to bypass the Pod-CIDR IMDS restriction, while trusted kube-system components retain their required exemption.

Inline comments:
In `@ansible/playbooks/verify.yml`:
- Around line 91-97: Update the “Verify ServiceLB and bundled local-storage are
absent” shell task to run the k3s kubectl pod query separately and validate its
exit status before applying the grep absence check. Preserve pipefail behavior
and ensure kubectl failures cause the task to fail rather than being masked by
negation.
- Around line 42-46: Update the “Assert exact K3s version” task to extract the
first reported version token from installed_k3s_version.stdout, then compare
that token for equality with k3s_version instead of using containment. Keep the
existing failure message context intact.
- Around line 21-35: Update the mounted-filesystem verification around “Read
mounted filesystems” and “Assert data disks use ext4 and UUID sources” to query
fstab entries with findmnt --fstab --mountpoint for each expected mount, then
require the reported source to be ext4 with a UUID= source; remove acceptance of
arbitrary /dev/ sources.
In `@ansible/roles/backup/tasks/main.yml`:
- Around line 39-43: Update the backup role before enabling
k3s-control-plane-backup.timer to ensure the required bash and flock
dependencies are available, either by installing their provider packages or by
adding an explicit precondition that validates both commands. Keep the existing
timer enablement and startup behavior unchanged.
In `@ansible/roles/backup/templates/k3s-control-plane-backup.sh.j2`:
- Around line 42-44: Ensure retention cleanup runs even when IMDS or Blob upload
fails under set -e by moving the backup_root find command into the exit trap or
another best-effort failure path, while preserving cleanup of work_dir and
normal successful-run behavior.
- Around line 31-34: Update the curl invocation in the backup script to avoid
expanding access_token in process arguments: write the Authorization header to a
temporary file under work_dir with 0600 permissions, pass it using curl’s
--header `@file` form, and rely on the existing exit trap to remove the file while
preserving the remaining headers and request behavior.
In `@ansible/roles/security/templates/nftables.conf.j2`:
- Around line 25-27: Update the nftables configuration around the existing
`forward_guard` rule so host-network Pods cannot reach 169.254.169.254: either
enforce rejection of unapproved hostNetwork workloads through the repository’s
admission controls, or add an equivalent host-output nftables rule covering that
traffic. Preserve the existing k3s_cluster_cidr protection and use the nearest
relevant security-policy or nftables symbols.

Authorization Bypass
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-862 — Missing Authorization
Do not exempt the complete kube-system namespace.
This binding excludes every Pod in kube-system from checks on hostNetwork, hostPID, and hostIPC. Any identity with Pod write access there can bypass deny-host-namespaces. Limit the exemption to trusted workload identities or use a dedicated trusted namespace.
