Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Quay. A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the OAuth callback handler allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code within a user's browser session. By tricking a logged-in user into visiting a specially crafted link, an attacker can exploit improper input sanitization to run client-side scripts in the application context. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to compromise the user's session, access sensitive registry information, or perform unauthorized actions on their behalf.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-28 20:58:20 UTC
A DOM-based cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in Project Quay's OAuth local callback handler (OAuthLocalHandler.tsx). When the format=json query parameter is supplied, the component reads the access_token from the URL fragment and assigns it to document.body.innerHTML via JSON.stringify, which does not HTML-encode angle brackets. An attacker can craft a URL containing a malicious access_token in the fragment that, when clicked by a Quay user, executes arbitrary JavaScript in the Quay registry origin. The format=json code path bypasses OAuth state validation and requires no authentication.
