Package Change Age Confidence
@backstage/backend-defaults (source) ^0.17.7 → ^0.18.0 age confidence

Warning

Some dependencies could not be looked up. Check the Dependency Dashboard for more information.


Backstage: Improper input validation in cloud storage URL readers

CVE-2026-106494 / GHSA-7649-wm97-w3j3

More information

Details

Impact

An attacker with write access to a cloud storage bucket used by Backstage could craft object names that could collide with protected files in the output directory. In certain deployment configurations, this could lead to content injection.

Patches

Patched in @backstage/backend-defaults version 0.17.8

Severity

  • CVSS Score: 4.4 / 10 (Medium)
  • Vector String: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N

Backstage: Improper preservation of access restrictions during service credential delegation

CVE-2026-106492 / GHSA-cq7v-rfgc-5c7v

More information

Details

Impact

An external service credential configured with access restrictions (e.g., read-only) could bypass those restrictions by routing requests through plugin delegation paths. This could allow a restricted service to perform operations beyond its intended scope, including write operations on plugins it was restricted to read-only access for.

Patches

Patched in @backstage/backend-defaults version 0.17.8

Workarounds

If you're unable to upgrade immediately:

  • If practical, replace restricted credentials with separate, purpose-specific unrestricted credentials scoped to trusted consumers.
  • Restrict network-level access to Backstage backend API endpoints to trusted callers only.

Severity

  • CVSS Score: 7.6 / 10 (High)
  • Vector String: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:L

Backstage: Cloud storage catalog locations may cross configured storage boundaries

CVE-2026-106493 / GHSA-xvh9-35w9-42m4

More information

Details

Impact

Catalog entity providers for Azure Blob Storage and AWS S3 did not sufficiently validate storage object paths, which could allow catalog descriptors to be read from outside the intended storage boundary. Access is limited to locations reachable by the backend's configured credentials.

Patches
  • @backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-azure version 0.3.21
  • @backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-aws version 0.4.27
  • @backstage/backend-defaults version 0.7.18
Workarounds
  • Restrict blob and object creation or renaming in configured catalog storage sources to trusted principals.
  • Scope Backstage's Azure and AWS reader credentials and network access to the intended storage boundaries.
  • Disable an affected catalog provider if those restrictions cannot be enforced.

Severity

  • CVSS Score: 3.0 / 10 (Low)
  • Vector String: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N

Release Notes

backstage/backstage (@​backstage/backend-defaults)

v0.18.0

Compare Source

Minor Changes
  • 2e07985: Add schemaPrefix configuration for pluginDivisionMode: schema. Allows prefixing PostgreSQL schema names to avoid conflicts with existing schemas.
Patch Changes
  • fe6ace6: Fixed AwsS3UrlReader and AwsCodeCommitUrlReader to resolve account-specific AWS credentials when an assume role ARN is configured, enabling support for webIdentityTokenFile and accountDefaults in environments without default AWS credentials.
  • 45d760b: Improve action handling consistency.
  • 8d71644: Reduced PostgreSQL connection churn during backend startup when many plugins initialize databases or schemas.
  • 416be1b: Updated Harness URL reading to validate cross-origin redirect destinations
    against backend.reading.allow.
  • c59472e: Plugin route registration now rejects paths that differ only by letter casing,
    and HTTP credentials are resolved independently for each plugin service instance.
  • 5aac521: Improved service credential handling during plugin-to-plugin delegation.
  • 61449ae: Reduced PostgreSQL startup connections when multiple plugins share a database by reusing the database existence check.
  • 55f30b8: Reduced scheduler database polling overhead by batching readiness checks for global tasks registered by each plugin into one query per poll cycle on each backend instance.
  • 8b3c83e: Improved input validation and path handling for cloud storage URL readers.
  • 61d97c0: Improved input validation for cloud storage URL readers.
  • e895def: Fixed handling of GitLab URLs for instances configured with a relative base path.
  • f6f339e: Fixed redundant signing-key requests when concurrently authenticating the first incoming requests from a plugin. Concurrent requests now share the same key cache, including when retrying after an initial fetch failure.
  • e13e278: Updated URL reader allow list matching so configured paths match either the exact path or paths below it at a segment boundary.
  • e3b587c: Improve authentication reliability during signing key rotation by performing budgeted JWKS reloads when a newly published key is requested during the remote key set cooldown.
  • Updated dependencies
