Backstage: Secret-derived values may be exposed in scaffolder task logs

view advisory published 2026-10-07Licence: CC-BY-4.0

### Impact Deployments that configure sensitive `scaffolder.defaultEnvironment.secrets` and allow an attacker to create or modify Scaffolder templates are affected. A template author could cause secret-derived values used during template iteration to be persisted in task logs, exposing those values to users with access to the resulting task logs. ### Patches Patched in `@backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend` version `4.1.0` ### Workarounds - Restrict permission to create or update Template entities to fully trusted parties, as recommended by the Backstage threat model. - If that restriction cannot be guaranteed, remove sensitive values from `scaffolder.defaultEnvironment.secrets` until a patched version is available. No complete workaround is known that preserves both untrusted template authoring and access to sensitive default-environment secrets.
