      "value": "A flaw was found in Red Hat Quay. When Red Hat Quay requests password re-verification for sensitive operations, such as token generation or robot account creation, the re-authentication prompt can be bypassed. This allows a user with a timed-out session, or an attacker with access to an idle authenticated browser session, to perform privileged actions without providing valid credentials. The vulnerability enables unauthorized execution of sensitive operations despite the user interface displaying an error for invalid credentials."

      "value": "Se encontró un defecto en Red Hat Quay. Cuando Red Hat Quay solicita la reverificación de contraseña para operaciones sensibles, como la generación de tokens o la creación de cuentas de robot, la solicitud de re-autenticación puede ser omitida. Esto permite a un usuario con una sesión caducada, o a un atacante con acceso a una sesión de navegador autenticada inactiva, realizar acciones privilegiadas sin proporcionar credenciales válidas. La vulnerabilidad permite la ejecución no autorizada de operaciones sensibles a pesar de que la interfaz de usuario muestra un error por credenciales inválidas."
