Résumé

Backstage: Improper input validation in proxy-backend

Détails de l’avis

Impact

An authenticated Backstage user could craft a request URL that causes the proxy-backend to forward the request to a path outside the configured base path on the target server. This is limited to target servers already configured as proxy endpoints and requires Backstage authentication by default.

Patches

Patched in @backstage/plugin-proxy-backend version 0.6.17

Workarounds

  • Deploy a reverse proxy or WAF in front of Backstage that normalizes request paths before they reach the backend.
