Severity ?
2.6 (Low) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N
CWE
  • CWE-532 - Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File
Summary
@backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend is the backend for the default Backstage software templates. Prior to version 2.1.1, duplicate logging of the input values in the fetch:template action in the Scaffolder meant that some of the secrets were not properly redacted. If ${{ secrets.x }} is not passed through to fetch:template there is no impact. This issue has been resolved in 2.1.1 of the scaffolder-backend plugin. A workaround for this issue involves Template Authors removing the use of ${{ secrets }} being used as an argument to fetch:template.
