Vulnerability in Openshift Update Service (CVE-2026-74241)
Summary
Vulnerability in Openshift Update Service (CVE-2026-74241). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
A flaw was found in Red Hat Quay's external Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication handling. When an LDAP referral is returned during authentication, the system does not properly escape the username input. This allows an attacker to inject LDAP filter metacharacters, enabling user-existence oracle attacks at the referral Directory Name (DN). This could also potentially influence which DN is used for password binding in multi-domain Active Directory environments.
