Container image registry with security scanning

quay.io ↗

The public release feed is pure CVE backporting across two frozen branches.

container-registrycve-backportsmaintenance-branchessupply-chainssrfdual-branch
◆Current state
Quay's tracked releases are entirely maintenance work on the 3.10 and 3.12 branches, and nothing else appears in the feed. Every entry is a list of dependency CVE fixes and Go version bumps, cherry-picked between branches by automation — the same PyJWT, urllib3, axios, shell-quote and kafka-python advisories land on both lines within days. The one piece of actual product code in this window is an SSRF fix in the proxy cache upstream registry configuration.
◆Where it's heading
This is what a supported enterprise registry looks like from the outside: two older branches on life support for customers who have not moved, with feature development happening somewhere the feed does not see. The pattern is machine-driven — cherry-pick robots, changelog bump bots, Renovate-style dependency updates — with human authorship visible mainly on the security fixes. Nothing here indicates what the current development branch is doing.
◆Prediction
Expect the 3.10 and 3.12 branches to keep receiving paired dependency CVE backports on the same cadence until their support windows close. Any read on Quay's product direction needs a source other than this feed.

    SSRF fix in proxy cache upstream registry configuration

    Alongside the usual dependency bumps, this release fixes server-side request forgery in the proxy cache upstream registry configuration — the only change in the recent feed that patches Quay's own code rather than a dependency. Proxy cache is the feature that talks to arbitrary upstream registries, so it is the natural place for this class of bug.

    Proxy cache SSRF fix backported to the 3.10 branch

    The 3.10 branch counterpart carrying the same proxy cache SSRF fix and the same Go and dependency updates, six days ahead of the 3.12 release. The paired-branch backport rhythm is the defining shape of this feed.

    Dependency CVE roundup for the 3.10 branch

    A pure dependency CVE roundup — PyJWT, urllib3, axios, shell-quote and kafka-python — with CI housekeeping and an automated changelog bump. No change an operator would observe beyond the version number.

    Dependency CVE roundup for the 3.12 branch

    The 3.12 twin of the same dependency CVE set, released five days earlier with an identical fix list. Two branches, one set of advisories, no product change.
