CVE-2026-74247
Description
A flaw was found in Red Hat Quay. A user with FEATURE_BUILD_SUPPORT enabled and repository write access can exploit a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability within the build API. This allows the user to provide a malicious URL, causing the Quay builder to make requests to internal network addresses. Such an action could lead to the disclosure of sensitive internal information.
Statement
This Moderate impact flaw in Red Hat Quay's build API allows an authenticated user with repository write access and the FEATURE_BUILD_SUPPORT feature enabled to perform Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attacks. Exploitation requires specific configuration and privileges, limiting the attack surface. Successful exploitation could enable access to internal network resources from the Quay builder.
Mitigation
To mitigate this issue, disable the `FEATURE_BUILD_SUPPORT` feature in Red Hat Quay if it is not essential for your operations. This action prevents the vulnerable build API endpoint from being exploited. Refer to the Red Hat Quay product documentation for detailed instructions on managing and disabling features.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Confidentiality
Technical Impact: Read Application Data
Integrity
Technical Impact: Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands
Access Control
Technical Impact: Bypass Protection Mechanism
By providing URLs to unexpected hosts or ports, attackers can make it appear that the server is sending the request, possibly bypassing access controls such as firewalls that prevent the attackers from accessing the URLs directly. The server can be used as a proxy to conduct port scanning of hosts in internal networks, use other URLs such as that can access documents on the system (using file://), or use other protocols such as gopher:// or tftp://, which may provide greater control over the contents of requests.
