Summary

A vulnerability exists in Quay's installation process via the mirror-registry, where a default database secret key is inadvertently stored in plain text within a configuration template file.

If exploited, this vulnerability allows malicious actors to gain unauthorized access to the database, posing significant risks to data integrity and confidentiality.
