AI-suggested

Red Hat has released fixed versions of Quay: 3.9.28, 3.10.28, 3.12.24, 3.14.10, 3.15.9, 3.16.7, 3.17.7, and 3.18.3. Users should update to these versions to fully remediate the vulnerability. Quay.io has already been patched by Red Hat. There is no complete workaround. If immediate update is not possible, restrict who can create namespaces containing underscores, rotate robot tokens for any namespaces that collide with underscore-containing ones, and monitor registry activity for anomalous pulls or pushes. These mitigations reduce exposure but do not fix the underlying flaw.

Description

A critical SQL injection vulnerability in Red Hat Quay allows authenticated attackers to bypass tenant isolation in multi-tenant deployments. By creating a namespace with an underscore character, attackers exploit SQL LIKE pattern matching to access robot account tokens from other tenants. These stolen tokens enable unauthorized read, push, or overwrite operations on container images, risking container supply chain integrity especially in OpenShift environments. Red Hat has released fixed versions and already patched Quay.io. Workarounds include restricting namespace creation and rotating tokens but do not fully mitigate the flaw.
