Workarounds
CNA: Restrict network egress from Quay worker pods/containers using network policies or firewall rules to block outbound connections to internal network ranges (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16) and cloud metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254). Limit repository creation and admin privileges to trusted users. Configure WEBHOOK_HOSTNAME_BLACKLIST in Quay config to include known internal hostnames and IP ranges.
