Technical details
A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in the Claircore fetcher component. The component fails to perform IP or scheme filtering on attacker-supplied URIs within manifest layer descriptors. In deployments where Pre-Shared Key (PSK) authentication is not explicitly configured, an unauthenticated attacker can submit a manifest pointing to internal services or cloud metadata endpoints (e.g., 169.254.169.254). While full response exfiltration is prevented by digest validation, the vulnerability is reflective; the 'CheckResponse' function leaks up to 256 bytes of error body content from non-200 responses, along with Content-Type headers and redirect URLs. Operator-managed Red Hat Quay deployments are generally protected as they auto-configure PSK by default.
