A flaw was found in Quay. Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks force a user to perform unwanted actions in an application. During the pentest, it was detected that the config-editor page is vulnerable to CSRF. The config-editor page is used to configure the Quay instance. By coercing the victim’s browser into sending an attacker-controlled request from another domain, it is possible to reconfigure the Quay instance (including adding users with admin privileges).
Quay (all versions)Refer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.
To avoid the risk associated with this vulnerability, it is recommended to include a secret in all requests that may generate a change in the application's data. A secret is understood, for example, as an extra parameter, generated and sent to the client when accessing the web resource from which the request to be protected is launched. This secret must be generated randomly and be different for each request to be made. On the server side, the application must check that these requests, which cause significant modifications to the data, include the previously generated secrets. If this is not included or is erroneous, the application should not perform the corresponding action.
In addition to this secret, it is recommended to set the "SameSite" attribute in the session cookie with the following values:
