CVE-2026-110697 Published on November 11, 2026
Quay: quay: sql like wildcard injection in robot listing leaks cross-tenant robot tokens
A flaw was found in Quay where the robot account listing function constructs a SQL LIKE pattern from user-controlled namespace names without escaping wildcard metacharacters.
