    Backstage: FetchUrlReader SSRF via Redirect Allowlist Bypass

    In Backstage and the @backstage/backend-defaults package versions prior to 0.12.2, 0.13.2, 0.14.1, and 0.15.0 a low severity vulnerability CVE-2026-24048 was detected. This vulnerability allows attackers who control an allowed external host to perform Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) by abusing automatic HTTP redirect handling in the FetchUrlReader component, enabling access to internal or sensitive URLs that are not explicitly allowlisted. To address this issue, users should upgrade @backstage/backend-defaults to versions 0.12.2, 0.13.2, 0.14.1, 0.15.0 or later. For more details, visit https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-24048.

    In Backstage versions prior to @backstage/backend-defaults 0.12.2, 0.13.2, 0.14.1, and 0.15.0; @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend 2.2.2, 3.0.2, and 3.1.1; and @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-node 0.11.2 and 0.12.3 a high severity vulnerability CVE-2026-24046 was detected. This vulnerability allows attackers with permission to create or execute Scaffolder templates to exploit symlink-based path traversal issues to read arbitrary files, delete files outside the workspace, or write files to unintended locations via vulnerable Scaffolder actions and archive extraction utilities. To address this issue, users should upgrade @backstage/backend-defaults to versions 0.12.2, 0.13.2, 0.14.1, 0.15.0, @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend to versions 2.2.2, 3.0.2, 3.1.1 and @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-node to versions 0.11.2 or 0.12.3.
