41th percentile - higher than 41% of all known CVEs

Summary

A flaw was found in quay-builder-qemu. A remote attacker could exploit this by compromising the upstream Noelware/docker-manifest-action used in the release workflow, which is pinned to a mutable branch. This allows the attacker to inject arbitrary code, leading to the exfiltration of sensitive registry credentials or the publication of malicious images. The workflow also exposes the default GitHub token, increasing the severity of the compromise.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can steal container registry credentials and publish malicious images, leading to supply chain compromise and potential infrastructure takeover.

Recommendation

Pin the Noelware/docker-manifest-action to a specific commit (not a mutable branch), restrict GitHub token permissions in the workflow, and rotate potentially exposed registry credentials.
