Basic-auth app bundle credential exposure in gatsby-source-wordpress
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| npm | gatsby-source-wordpress | < 4.0.8 | 4.0.8 |
| npm | gatsby-source-wordpress | >= 5.0.0, < 5.9.2 | 5.9.2 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
The gatsby-source-wordpress plugin prior to versions 4.0.8 and 5.9.2 leaks .htaccess HTTP Basic Authentication variables into the app.js bundle during build-time. Users who are not initializing basic authentication credentials in the gatsby-config.js are not affected.
Example affected gatsby-config.js:
```
resolve: 'gatsby-source-wordpress',
auth: {
htaccess: {
username: leaked_username
password: leaked_password,
},
},
```
### Patches
A patch has been introduced in [email protected] and [email protected] which mitigates the issue by filtering all variables specified in the `auth: { }` section. Users that depend on this functionality are advised to upgrade to the latest release of gatsby-source-wordpress, run `gatsby clean` followed by a `gatsby build`.
### Workarounds
There is no known workaround at this time, other than manually editing the app.js file post-build.
