CVE-2026-32591 — A flaw was found in Red Hat Quay's Proxy Cache configuration feature
A flaw was found in Red Hat Quay's Proxy Cache configuration feature. When an organization administrator configures an upstream registry for proxy caching, Quay makes a network connection to the specified registry hostname without verifying that it points to a legitimate external service. An attacker with organization administrator privileges could supply a crafted hostname to force the Quay server to make requests to internal network services, cloud infrastructure endpoints, or other resources that should not be accessible from the Quay application.

Matched remediation archetype
Server-side request forgery and unintended proxying
This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.
Check exposure
- Inventory server-side URL fetchers, webhooks, importers, previews, redirects, proxies, and protocol handlers reachable from untrusted input.
- Map egress paths to internal services, metadata endpoints, loopback, private address space, and privileged control planes.
- Review DNS resolution, redirect, proxy, credential-forwarding, and URL parsing behavior without requesting sensitive targets.
Remediate safely
- Replace arbitrary destinations with named integrations or a strict allowlist of schemes, hosts, ports, and paths.
- Resolve and validate every destination and redirect hop, then enforce egress policy independently of application checks.
- Remove ambient credentials and sensitive headers from fetchers; apply response size, time, and content limits.
