Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Red Hat OpenShift Update Service and Quay (version now known). Affected is some unknown processing of the component Robot Account Listing. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a sql injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-89. The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

A flaw was found in Quay where the robot account listing function constructs a SQL LIKE pattern from user-controlled namespace names without escaping wildcard metacharacters. An attacker who creates a namespace containing an underscore character can match and retrieve robot accounts and their decrypted authentication tokens from other tenants' namespaces, leading to cross-tenant credential theft and unauthorized image operations.
