Backstage: Incorrect authorization in scaffolder task listing
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| npm | @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend | < 4.1.0 | 4.1.0 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
An authenticated internal user may be able to view metadata for scaffolder tasks outside the visibility intended by a deployment's permission policy. Stored task secrets are not included in the affected response, and no integrity or availability impact was identified.
### Patches
Patched in `@backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend` version `4.1.0`
### Workarounds
- Restrict the scaffolder task-list endpoint at the ingress or authenticating proxy to users who are permitted to view all tasks.
- Avoid placing sensitive values in template input parameters until the patched package is deployed.
