Backstage has incorrect authorization in search engine permission filtering
### Impact An authenticated Backstage user subject to a `DENY` policy for search document types could receive search results they were not authorized to view. This affects deployments with `permission.enabled: true` and an Elasticsearch or OpenSearch search backend. ### Patches - Upgrade `@backstage/plugin-search-backend` to 2.1.6 - Upgrade `@backstage/plugin-search-backend-module-elasticsearch` to 1.8.7 ### Workarounds If you are unable to upgrade immediately: - Temporarily modify permission policies to use `CONDITIONAL` decisions with per-result filtering rather than blanket `DENY` for search document types - Restrict Elasticsearch/OpenSearch index access at the cluster level so that the search service account can only reach expected Backstage indices, limiting the blast radius if the authorization bypass is triggered.
