Summary

Argo CD's API server does not enforce project sourceNamespaces

Details

Impact

I can convince the UI to let me do things with an invalid Application.

Admin gives me p, michael, applications, *, demo/*, allow, where demo can just deploy to the demo namespace
Admin gives me AppProject dev which reconciles from ns dev-apps
Admin gives me p, michael, applications, sync, dev/*, allow, i.e. no updating via the UI allowed, gitops-only
I create an Application called pwn in dev-apps with project dev and sync the app with sources from git
I change the Application’s project to demo via kubectl or gitops (whichever mechanism my admins have given me, because it should be safe)
I use the UI to edit the resource which should only be mutable via gitops
