Description
CVE-2026-74241 is a moderate severity vulnerability in Red Hat Quay's external LDAP authentication. It arises from improper escaping of username input when an LDAP referral is returned during authentication. This flaw allows injection of LDAP filter metacharacters, enabling user-existence oracle attacks against referral Directory Names (DNs) and potentially influencing password binding in multi-domain Active Directory environments. No direct authentication bypass is possible. No patch or mitigation meeting Red Hat's criteria is currently available.
