CVE-2026-32590
HighCVSS 7.1Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk35th percentile - higher than 35% of all known CVEs
Summary
A flaw was found in Red Hat Quay's handling of resumable container image layer uploads. The upload process stores intermediate data in the database using a format that, if tampered with, could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the Quay server.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can remotely execute arbitrary code on the Quay server, leading to full compromise of the image repository and potential breach of confidentiality and integrity of stored data.
Recommendation
Immediately update Red Hat Quay to the latest patched version and restrict access to the layer upload API to trusted users only.
Other vulnerabilities in Red Hat Quay
See all- CVE-2026-74247Medium
In Red Hat Quay, a user with FEATURE_BUILD_SUPPORT enabled and repository write access can exploit an SSRF vulnerability within the build API by providing a malicious URL, causing the builder to make requests to internal network addresses.
- CVE-2026-74245Medium
In Red Hat Quay's exported logs feature, an unauthenticated attacker with a valid file ID could download exported action logs without proper authorization. File IDs can be intercepted from plaintext email or webhook callbacks.
- CVE-2026-74244Medium
In Red Hat Quay's Stripe billing webhook handler, an unauthenticated attacker can forge billing events by sending crafted JSON requests to the /webhooks/stripe endpoint without validating the Stripe-Signature header.
- CVE-2026-74243Medium
In Red Hat Quay, when SECURITY_SCANNER_V4_PSK is not set, a remote unauthenticated attacker can send POST requests to the security scanner notification endpoint, allowing flooding of the notification queue and injection of path traversal characters into Clair API URL paths.
- CVE-2026-74242Medium
In Red Hat Quay, an administrator of any repository, by knowing or guessing a target notification's UUID, can read the notification configuration, including sensitive details like webhook URLs, Slack tokens, and email addresses. They can also trigger test notifications for another repository.
- CVE-2026-74241Medium
In Red Hat Quay's external LDAP authentication handling, when an LDAP referral is returned during authentication, the system does not properly escape the username input. This allows an attacker to inject LDAP filter metacharacters, enabling user-existence oracle attacks at the referral DN.
- CVE-2026-74240Medium
In Red Hat Quay's JWT validation for federated robot accounts and SSO authentication, multiple issues related to audience verification and enforcement of azp and sub claims were identified. An attacker with a validly-signed token from the same identity provider could bypass configured security restrictions.
- CVE-2026-16910Medium
In Red Hat Quay, the Slack and generic webhook notification handlers do not validate URLs against SSRF. A repository administrator can force the Quay worker to send POST requests to internal network addresses or cloud endpoints.
- CVE-2026-15927Medium
SSRF vulnerability in Red Hat Quay's repository-level mirror configuration. A repository administrator can supply a crafted hostname causing the Quay mirror worker to make requests to internal network services.
- CVE-2026-32591Medium
In Red Hat Quay, the proxy cache configuration feature does not verify that the specified upstream registry hostname points to a legitimate external service. An organization administrator can supply a crafted hostname, forcing the Quay server to make requests to internal network services, cloud infrastructure endpoints, or other resources that should not be accessible from the Quay application.
