Quay Config-Tool LDAP/SMTP Validation Bypass Enables Internal Reconnaissance
CVE-2026-10052 Published on May 29, 2026
Quay/config-tool: quay/config-tool: ssrf via unfiltered ldap and smtp config validation endpoints
A flaw was found in the Quay config-tool's LDAP and SMTP validation functions. An attacker with config editor access can exploit these functions, which make outbound connections to user-supplied endpoints without proper IP or host filtering. This allows the attacker to perform internal network reconnaissance from the Quay pod's network position, potentially mapping the internal network infrastructure.

Weakness Type
What is a SSRF Vulnerability?
The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination. 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.
CVE-2026-10052 has been classified to as a SSRF vulnerability or weakness.
