Pull Request Overview
This PR successfully removes the static Minio accessKey and secretKey. However, the security hardening is incomplete as hardcoded passwords for RabbitMQ and PostgreSQL remain with default values. Furthermore, the PR description is empty, which provides no context on how the application is expected to authenticate with Minio moving forward (e.g., via IAM roles or environment variables). Verification of the fallback mechanism is required to ensure connectivity is not broken.
About this PR
- The PR represents a partial implementation of the apparent security goal. While Minio keys are removed, several other static credentials remain in the file (e.g., RabbitMQ and PostgreSQL passwords), which should also be externalized for a consistent security posture.
- The PR description is empty. Please provide context on how the application is expected to authenticate with Minio once these static keys are removed (e.g., AWS IAM roles, environment variables) to ensure the configuration is complete.

line 142-154🟡 MEDIUM RISK
Suggestion: While removing the S3 keys is a good security improvement, static credentials for RabbitMQ (line 142) and PostgreSQL (line 154) remain hardcoded with default values. To maintain consistency and improve the security posture, these should be refactored to use Kubernetes secrets.Try running the following prompt in your IDE agent:
Refactor the rabbitmqPassword and postgresqlPassword fields in codacy/values.yaml to be provided via secrets rather than hardcoded strings, following the pattern of the cryptoSecret field.
Test suggestions
- Verify that the application successfully falls back to alternative credential providers (e.g., IAM roles or environment variables) when these keys are absent.
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify that the application successfully falls back to alternative credential providers (e.g., IAM roles or environment variables) when these keys are absent.
