DescriptionCVE.org

A flaw was found in Red Hat Quay's notification webhook feature. The Slack and generic webhook notification handlers accept user-supplied URLs without SSRF validation, allowing a repository administrator to make the Quay worker issue POST requests to internal network addresses or cloud infrastructure endpoints that should not be reachable from the application.

AnalysisAI

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in Red Hat Quay 3's notification webhook feature allows repository administrators to weaponize the Quay worker process as an internal network proxy. By supplying attacker-controlled URLs to the Slack or generic webhook notification handlers, a repository admin can cause the Quay backend to issue POST requests to RFC-1918 addresses, cloud metadata endpoints (e.g., AWS IMDSv1 at 169.254.169.254), or other infrastructure that should be network-isolated from the application. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Authenticate as repository administrator
Delivery
Navigate to webhook notification settings
Exploit
Supply internal or metadata URL as webhook target
Execution
Trigger repository event (e.g., image push)
Persist
Quay worker issues POST to internal endpoint
Impact
Harvest response data from logs or relay server

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to hold the repository administrator role within a Red Hat Quay 3 instance - this is a non-default, privileged organizational role, not anonymous or low-privilege access. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) scores 5.5 (Medium), which is a reasonable representation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A repository administrator within an OpenShift-hosted Quay instance configures a 'generic webhook' notification URL pointing to http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/ - the AWS IMDSv1 metadata endpoint. When the next repository event fires (e.g., a push), the Quay worker issues a POST request to that URL, and the response containing temporary cloud IAM credentials may be observable via error messages, logs, or a controlled external relay. …
Remediation Apply the vendor-supplied patch when released; monitor https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-16910 for an updated advisory with a confirmed fixed version, as no exact patch version is confirmed from the currently available data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
