Summary

CVE-2026-10078 is a low-severity Use of HTTP Request With Sensitive Query String (CWE-598) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 2.7 (Low).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Unsecured Credentials (T1552); ranked at the 10th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SC-8 (Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity) and AU-9 (Protection of Audit Information) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

A flaw was found in the Quay config-tool's GitLab OAuth validator. This vulnerability causes sensitive credentials, specifically client_id and client_secret, to be transmitted as plaintext in URL query parameters during POST requests to the GitLab endpoint. This insecure transmission can…

lead to the disclosure of these credentials in various system logs, such as server access logs, reverse proxy logs, and other monitoring systems. An attacker with access to these logs could potentially obtain these credentials, leading to unauthorized information disclosure.

Related Threats

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1552 Unsecured Credentials Credential Access

Adversaries may search compromised systems to find and obtain insecurely stored credentials.

T1552.001 Credentials In Files Credential Access

Adversaries may search local file systems and remote file shares for files containing insecurely stored credentials.

Why these techniques?

Credential disclosure via logs directly maps to unsecured credentials exposure (T1552); logs as files align with T1552.001.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SC-8 Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity good match

prevent

Requires cryptographic protection for sensitive data (client_id/client_secret) during transmission, directly preventing placement in query strings that survive TLS.

AU-9 Protection of Audit Information partial match

prevent

Protects audit and access logs from unauthorized access, limiting disclosure of credentials inadvertently recorded from URL query parameters.

IA-5 Authenticator Management partial match

prevent

Mandates secure management and transmission of authenticators, addressing the mishandling of OAuth client secrets in request URLs.

PR.PS-06 mostly match

prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly prevent embedding sensitive data in query strings as part of input-handling and data-flow design.

PR.DS-02 partial match

prevents

HTTPS encryption protects query strings in transit but does not address the root design flaw of placing sensitive data in URLs.
