Doc Text:
A flaw was found when using mirror-registry to install Quay. It uses a default database secret key, which is stored in plain-text format in one of the configuration template files. This issue may lead to all instances of Quay deployed using mirror-registry to have the same database secret key. This flaw allows a malicious actor to access sensitive information from Quay's database.

Description Marco Benatto 2024-04-10 20:42:02 UTC 
The default DATABASE_SECRET_KEY field is stored in plain text on the jinja's config.yaml file, leaving the possibility of every mirror-registry installation which hasn't changed ot to have the same DATABASE_SECRET_KEY.
