Description
Backstage is an open framework for building developer portals. From 0.3.0 until 0.3.8, the @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend-module-sentry package is affected by improper input validation in sentry scaffolder actions. An authenticated internal user who can execute the affected actions may cause the backend to contact unintended destinations and disclose Sentry integration credentials. Subsequent impact depends on network reachability and the privileges granted to the configured token. This issue is fixed in version 0.3.8.

Action: Update to 0.3.8
AI Analysis

Impact

Improper input validation in the @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend-module-sentry module allows an authenticated internal user to cause the backend to contact unintended destinations, exposing Sentry integration credentials. The primary impact is a confidentiality breach of Sentry credentials and potential unauthorized network activity depending on token reachability and privileges.

Affected Systems

Deployments of Backstage that include @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend-module-sentry versions 0.3.0 through 0.3.8 are affected. Any Backstage instance that permits internal authenticated users to execute scaffolder actions and uses these module versions is potentially vulnerable until the module is updated to the patched 0.3.8 release or later.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.5 classifies this vulnerability as high severity, but the EPSS score is not available, suggesting no public exploitation yet. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires an internal user with permission to run the affected scaffolder actions, limiting the attack surface to organizations that grant such privileges. If the Sentry token has broad privileges, the credential disclosure could enable further attacks, but impact depends on network reachability and token scope.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend-module-sentry to version 0.3.8 or later, which contains the fix for the input validation flaw.
  • Restrict access to the scaffolder action that triggers Sentry integration to only trusted internal users and review permissions to limit ability to execute such actions.
  • Apply network controls, such as firewall rules or proxy settings, to block unintended outbound traffic from the Backstage backend to external services, ensuring only approved endpoints are reachable.
