CVE-2026-102576: Red Hat Quay DOM-based XSS via unvalidated redirect

CVE-2026-102576 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.2 · Published 2026-10-05

Red Hat Quay is a container image registry that stores and manages application software. A flaw in the login page allows an attacker to craft a malicious link that executes arbitrary JavaScript in a user's authenticated browser session after login. An attacker could steal session cookies, impersonate the user, or modify container images they have access to, but only if the target deployment uses direct database authentication.

Technologies: Red Hat Quay. Vendors: Red Hat.
