Description
A flaw was found in Quay. An authenticated repository administrator could bypass the hostname blacklist in webhook notifications, leading to a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability. This allows the Quay application to be tricked into sending requests to internal network resources, such as cloud metadata services or other services within the cluster. Consequently, this could lead to the disclosure of sensitive information from these internal services.

AI Analysis

Impact

A flaw in Quay permits an authenticated repository administrator to bypass the hostname blacklist on webhook notification URLs, creating a Server‑Side Request Forgery (SSRF). The attacker can cause the Quay service to send HTTP requests to internal network endpoints—including cloud metadata services or other cluster services—thus potentially revealing confidential information.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Red Hat Quay 3 and the Red Hat mirror registry for Red OpenShift (versions 1 and 2). No explicit sub‑release information is available, so all current installations of these products should be considered potentially vulnerable until a vendor patch is released.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 denotes moderate severity. EPSS is not available and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. An attacker must possess repository‑administrator credentials; once authenticated they can configure a webhook to target any internal host. The resulting SSRF can read data from internal services but does not grant direct code execution on the Quay host.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the Red Hat vendor patch or upgrade to a fixed version as soon as it becomes available.
  • Restrict webhook configuration privileges to trusted personnel only, limiting the ability of any user to create or modify webhook URLs.
  • Implement network segmentation or firewall rules that restrict the Quay service from making outbound connections to internal network ranges or only allow traffic to explicitly approved external domains.
  • Monitor Quay logs and network traffic for unexpected outbound requests that may indicate exploitation of the SSRF flaw.
