Storage bucket Directory Traversal in TechDocs

High
Rugvip published GHSA-39v3-f278-vj3g Sep 17, 2024

Package

npm @backstage/plugin-techdocs-backend (npm)

Affected versions

<1.10.13

Patched versions

1.10.13

Description

Impact

When using the AWS S3 or GCS storage provider for TechDocs it is possible to access content in the entire storage bucket. This can leak contents of the bucket that are not intended to be accessible, as well as bypass permission checks in Backstage.

Patches

This has been fixed in the 1.10.13 release of the @backstage/plugin-techdocs-backend package.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
