Summary

A significant data exposure vulnerability has been identified in Quay, a popular container registry operated by Red Hat. The flaw arises from storing the Quay database in plain text within the mirror-registry configuration file, config.yaml.

This vulnerability underscores the importance of securing sensitive configuration files to prevent unauthorized access to backend services.
