Summary

A vulnerability exists in Red Hat's Quay product related to the installation process utilizing mirror-registry. The issue stems from the use of a default secret, which is stored in plaintext within one of the configuration template files. This oversight can result in all Quay instances deployed through mirror-registry sharing the same secret key. Consequently, this flaw may allow malicious actors to fabricate session cookies, potentially leading to unauthorized access to the affected Quay instance. It is crucial for users of Quay to review their configuration settings and implement secure practices to mitigate this risk.
