Summary

pulp-container reuses basic and bearer credentials from one container remote for later downloads from upstream registries in the same worker. A user who can sync a container remote and point it at a server they control receives the username, password, or bearer token stored for a different remote (CWE-488). The attacker can reuse that credential at the upstream registry, while Pulp content is not changed and the service is not stopped.

Description from the CNA

A flaw was found in pulp-container when it authenticates to an upstream registry. Basic and bearer credentials from one remote are reused for later downloads in the same worker. A user who can sync a container remote, and can point that remote at a server they control, receives the username, password, or bearer token stored for a different remote, and can reuse that credential at the upstream registry. Content stored in Pulp is not changed, and the service is not stopped.
