Add a manual rule for CIS OCP-Virt control 1.14 "Restrict update access to the CDI CR". The rule documents the audit procedure (oc adm policy who-can update cdi) and is added to the cis-vm-extension CEL profile. Also relax build_cel_content.py to warn instead of error when a CEL profile references rules without CEL checks, allowing manual rules in CEL profiles. Update CEL documentation accordingly

Hi @taimurhafeez. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a ComplianceAsCode member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Tip

We noticed you've done this a few times! Consider joining the org to skip this step and gain /lgtm and other bot rights. We recommend asking approvers on your previous PRs to sponsor you.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

LGTM on the rule content. Two asks: (1) rebase to drop the duplicated build-script/docs change once #14920 merges; (2) use the fully-qualified cdis.cdi.kubevirt.io in the who-can command to avoid shortname ambiguity.

Looks good, just need to rebase and then update the description so that users know they can use CustomRules to automate this.

and cloned within the cluster. Unrestricted update access allows
any subject to modify CDI settings, potentially enabling insecure
data import sources, disabling TLS verification, or altering
storage configurations.

We discussed manual rules with the team. The consensus is that manual rules serve as signals for customers to create their own CustomRules that replace the manual check with an environment-specific automated check.

We can update the description to make this more apparent:

    Because the set of authorized subjects is specific to each
    organization, this rule requires manual verification. Organizations
    can create a compliance-operator CustomRule with CEL expressions
    that evaluate ClusterRoleBindings and Roles to verify that only
    their approved subjects hold update access to CDI resources.

…iption that explains manual status and points organizations to CustomRules for automation.
