Cross site scripting Vulnerability in backstage Software Catalog
Impact
This vulnerability allows a malicious actor with access to add or modify content in an instance of the Backstage software catalog to inject script URLs in the entities stored in the catalog. If users of the catalog then click on said URLs, that can lead to an XSS attack.
Patches
This vulnerability has been patched in both the frontend and backend implementations. The default Link component from @backstage/core-components will now reject javascript: URLs, and there is a global override of window.open to do the same.
In addition the catalog model as well as the catalog backend now has additional validation built in that prevents javascript: URLs in known annotations.
Workarounds
The general practice of limiting access to modifying catalog content and requiring code reviews greatly helps mitigate this vulnerability.
