Unauthenticated redirects via unsanitized Host header
Published Aug 20, 2025 · Updated Feb 27, 2026
Host header injection in Red Hat Mirror Registry for Red Hat OpenShift allows remote attackers to redirect clients to attacker-controlled domains. The application accepts the HTTP Host header without sanitization and uses the attacker-controlled value in redirects. No authentication is required to submit the request; redirected clients can be sent to phishing content, while no service interruption is reported.
