CVE-2026-6848 Details
Description
A flaw was found in Red Hat Quay. When Red Hat Quay requests password re-verification for sensitive operations, such as token generation or robot account creation, the re-authentication prompt can be bypassed. This allows a user with a timed-out session, or an attacker with access to an idle authenticated browser session, to perform privileged actions without providing valid credentials. The vulnerability enables unauthorized execution of sensitive operations despite the user interface displaying an error for invalid credentials.
An authentication bypass vulnerability has been identified in Red Hat Quay versions 3.9 through 3.17. This flaw allows users with timed-out sessions, or attackers with access to idle authenticated browser sessions, to bypass re-authentication prompts for sensitive operations such as token generation and robot account creation. Although the user interface indicates an error for invalid credentials, the operations are still executed in the background, enabling unauthorized access to privileged functions.
