**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Quay (affected versions not specified) **Description** A vulnerability was found in Quay, which allows successful authentication even when a truncated password version is provided. This flaw affects the authentication mechanism, reducing the overall security of password enforcement. The risk is relatively low due to the typical length of the passwords used, but this vulnerability can still be exploited to reduce the complexity of brute-force or password-guessing attacks. The truncation of passwords weakens the overall authentication process, thereby reducing the effectiveness of password policies and potentially increasing the risk of unauthorized access. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
