What does this PR do?

Moves the infrastructure-initialized check and the operator namespace lookup out of GetDefaultNetworkPolicy and into its caller setDefaultNetworkPolicy. The namespace is now passed in as an argument.

This lets external consumers (such as che-operator) reuse DWO's default network policy rules with an explicit namespace, without requiring infrastructure.Initialize() to have run in their process.

Follow-up to #1710, which first exposed GetDefaultNetworkPolicy.

What issues does this PR fix or reference?

N/A

Is it tested? How?

go build ./..., go vet ./pkg/config/... and go test ./pkg/config/... pass. Behavior is unchanged — only the location of the namespace lookup moved.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved default network policy setup by using the operator namespace when selecting policy rules. Policy setup now stops if infrastructure is not initialized or the namespace cannot be retrieved, preventing an incomplete policy from being applied. This makes network policy configuration more consistent with the environment and avoids proceeding when required setup information is unavailable.

Move the infrastructure initialization check and operator namespace
lookup out of GetDefaultNetworkPolicy and into setDefaultNetworkPolicy,
passing the namespace in as an argument instead.

This lets external consumers (such as che-operator) reuse the default
network policy rules with an explicit namespace, without depending on
the infrastructure package being initialized in their process.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Default network policy setup now checks infrastructure initialization and retrieves the operator namespace. GetDefaultNetworkPolicy accepts that namespace as an argument.

Changes

Default network policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Namespace handling and policy rules
pkg/config/defaults.go
setDefaultNetworkPolicy checks infrastructure initialization, retrieves the operator namespace, and passes it to GetDefaultNetworkPolicy. The function now accepts the namespace instead of retrieving it internally.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5d789

External consumers that call the policy helper before infrastructure initialization can still trigger a panic, so the advertised reuse path needs correction before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5d789

The normal operator setup retains its initialization and namespace checks. However, the public helper still requires infrastructure initialization and now panics instead of returning an error when called without it. This defeats the intended reuse contract and can terminate an importing operator if the panic is unhandled.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · observed: GetDefaultNetworkPolicy cannot support the intended initialization-independent reuse: it still invokes IsOpenShift, which panics when infrastructure is uninitialized. The PR changes this public call from a recoverable returned error into a panic that can escape into the importing operator process. The normal internal setup remains protected, limiting demonstrated exposure to direct library callers.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The immediate mutation scope is package state within the calling process. If these defaults reach workspace configuration, provisioning creates policies in each workspace's namespace and selects that workspace's ID. The caller-supplied operator namespace changes an allowed ingress source, not the destination policy namespace. Actual exposure in external consumers remains unverified.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — The newly panicking uninitialized path stops at platform selection, before writing network-policy defaults or returning rules. It therefore introduces a failure-containment problem, not an observed fail-open policy-generation path.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The public API trusts an in-process caller to choose the OpenShift source namespace. The internal setup retains authoritative namespace resolution, and the generated operator peer still requires both the namespace selector and the operator pod-label selector.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The global-default write and sharing of returned rule data predate this PR. Normal setup regenerates defaults before establishing active configuration, and reads copy that active configuration. However, later configuration create/update or deletion handling copies defaults again, so post-setup mutations can eventually propagate. The public writer does not participate in the configuration mutex. These are existing ownership and concurrency hazards, not a verified new attacker-controlled exposure.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Separate reusable rule construction from package-owned configuration updates, with explicit platform and namespace inputs and independent returned rule data. This would make initialization-independent reuse achievable without incidental policy-state mutation.

Remove the global mutation from GetDefaultNetworkPolicy.

defaultConfig is package-global and its Workspace.NetworkPolicy field starts as nil. The exported function is documented for external consumers to read and extend the default rules, but it assigns that package state. setDefaultNetworkPolicy already performs the assignment after the call.

♻️ Suggested fix
-	defaultConfig.Workspace.NetworkPolicy = &v1alpha1.NetworkPolicyConfig{
-		Enabled: pointer.Bool(constants.DefaultNetworkPolicyEnabled),
-		Ingress: ingressPolicyRules,
-		Egress:  defaultEgressPolicyRules,
-	}
 	return ingressPolicyRules, defaultEgressPolicyRules, nil

Pass the platform to GetDefaultNetworkPolicy.

GetDefaultNetworkPolicy calls infrastructure.IsOpenShift(). IsOpenShift() panics when infrastructure.Initialize() has not run, so external callers that use this function without initialization can still fail. Pass the platform as an argument, or otherwise remove this initialization-dependent call from the function.
