Description
A flaw was found in Red Hat Quay's exported logs feature. An unauthenticated attacker with a valid file ID could download exported action logs without proper authorization. While file IDs are complex, they can be intercepted from plaintext email or webhook callbacks. This vulnerability leads to information disclosure, potentially exposing sensitive data such as usernames, email addresses, IP addresses, and action-specific metadata.

AI Analysis

Impact

An attacker who has obtained a file ID can download exported action logs from Red Hat Quay without authentication, revealing usernames, email addresses, IP addresses, and action‐specific metadata. The flaw resides in the exported logs functionality and embodies a CWE‑306 weakness, where missing authorization permits unauthorized data access. Consequently, confidential information may be exposed to anyone who intercepts or deduces a file ID.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Red Hat OpenShift Update Service and Red Hat Quay 3. No specific version numbers are disclosed in the advisory, so all installations of Quay 3 that have the exported logs feature enabled are potentially impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.9 indicates a moderate risk level, and the EPSS score is currently not available, suggesting limited publicly known exploitation data. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog. Attacker likely needs to obtain a valid file ID, which can be captured from plaintext email or webhook callbacks, and then request the log file. The lack of authentication means that once the ID is known, downloading the log is trivial, leading to information disclosure.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

To mitigate the risk, configure Red Hat Quay to use a cloud storage backend for exported logs, which provides time-limited download URLs. Additionally, ensure that all communication channels used for delivering exported log file IDs, such as email and webhook callbacks, are adequately secured to prevent plaintext interception.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Configure Quay to use a cloud storage backend for exported logs, enabling time‑limited download URLs.
  • Secure all communication channels that deliver exported log file IDs, ensuring email and webhook callbacks are encrypted and protected from plaintext interception.
  • Apply any vendor patch or update that addresses the authentication flaw as soon as it becomes available.
