Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: High: A successful attack depends on conditions beyond the attacker's control. That is, a successful attack cannot be accomplished at will, but requires the attacker to invest in some measurable amount of effort in preparation or execution against the vulnerable component before a successful attack can be expected. For example, a successful attack may require an attacker to: gather knowledge about the environment in which the vulnerable target/component exists; prepare the target environment to improve exploit reliability; or inject themselves into the logical network path between the target and the resource requested by the victim in order to read and/or modify network communications (e.g., a man in the middle attack).
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

CVE published 12 Mar 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 30 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Organizations should monitor Red Hat's official advisories for patches addressing CVE-2026-2376 and apply them promptly once available. In the interim, administrators can implement strict validation of URLs processed by the mirror registry to ensure redirects only point to trusted domains or internal endpoints. Network segmentation and access controls should be enforced to limit the mirror registry's ability to reach sensitive internal systems. Logging and monitoring of redirect requests can help detect suspicious activity. Additionally, reviewing and restricting user privileges to minimize the number of authenticated users who can interact with the mirror registry reduces the attack surface. Employing web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block open redirect attempts may provide further protection. Finally, educating users about the risks of open redirects and enforcing strong authentication mechanisms can help mitigate exploitation.

Description

A flaw was found in mirror-registry where an authenticated user can trick the system into accessing unintended internal or restricted systems by providing malicious web addresses. When the application processes these addresses, it automatically follows redirects without verifying the final destination, allowing attackers to route requests to systems they should not have access to.

Impact

The vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker to redirect requests to internal or restricted systems, potentially exposing sensitive internal services or data that should be protected. This can lead to unauthorized information disclosure or manipulation of internal resources, undermining confidentiality and integrity. While the vulnerability does not directly impact system availability, it can facilitate lateral movement or reconnaissance within an organization's internal network. Organizations using Red Hat OpenShift mirror registries in multi-tenant or sensitive environments are at risk of internal exposure if this flaw is exploited. The medium CVSS score reflects moderate risk, but the requirement for authentication and high attack complexity somewhat limit the threat. However, in environments where attackers have valid credentials, this vulnerability could be leveraged to escalate access or gather intelligence on internal infrastructure.
