What it is

⚠️ A pesky XSS vulnerability hides in Red Hat Quay’s notification display! An attacker can easily impersonate a user, which could lead to some seriously sneaky shenanigans. 😈 Think of it like a restaurant that sends out fake invites. If they weren’t checked properly, anyone could walk in and steal someone’s meal — in this case, their credentials and sensitive actions! With this XSS vulnerability, an attacker could manipulate users into taking unwanted actions, jeopardizing their confidential data and even the entire system’s integrity. Imagine a dinner party where the wrong invitee takes over the host's role — chaos ensues!
