CVE-2026-109194: Red Hat Quay build trigger API authorization bypass

CVE-2026-109194 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.4 · Published 2026-10-12

Red Hat Quay is a container image registry that manages how Docker and Kubernetes images are built and stored. An authenticated administrator of one repository can view, modify, or delete build triggers and authentication tokens belonging to other repositories if they know the target trigger's unique identifier, potentially exposing credentials and disrupting automated image builds across the platform.

Technical details

The build trigger management API fails to validate whether a requested trigger belongs to the specified repository, enabling horizontal privilege escalation through an insecure direct object reference (IDOR). An attacker with administrative access to any repository can manipulate triggers in other namespaces by guessing or obtaining the target trigger's 128-bit UUID. Exploitation requires network access, prior authentication, and knowledge of the target trigger's identifier, which is not discoverable through standard API operations.
