Summary
Red Hat Quay 3 contains an insecure direct object reference in its build trigger management API. The API does not check that a requested trigger belongs to the specified repository (CWE-639).

Description from the CNA
A flaw was found in Red Hat Quay. The build trigger management application programming interface (API) fails to verify whether a requested trigger belongs to the specified repository. An authenticated user with administrative access to any repository can view, modify, or permanently delete build triggers and associated write tokens of another repository if they know the victim trigger's universally unique identifier (UUID).
