Symlink-Based Path Traversal

Backstage is vulnerable to symlink-based path traversal. The vulnerability is due to improper validation of symlinks in Scaffolder actions and archive extraction utilities, which allows an attacker with template execution access to read, write, or delete arbitrary files outside the intended...

CVE-2026-24047

Backstage is an open framework for building developer portals, and @backstage/cli-common provides config loading functionality used by the backend and command line interface of Backstage. Prior to version 0.1.17, the resolveSafeChildPath utility function in @backstage/backend-plugin-api, which is...

CVE-2026-24046

Backstage is an open framework for building developer portals. Multiple Scaffolder actions and archive extraction utilities were vulnerable to symlink-based path traversal attacks.

GHSA-2P49-45HJ-7MC9 @backstage/cli-common has a possible `resolveSafeChildPath` Symlink Chain Bypass

Impact The resolveSafeChildPath utility function in @backstage/backend-plugin-api, which is used to prevent path traversal attacks, failed to properly validate symlink chains and dangling symlinks. An attacker could bypass the path validation by: 1. Symlink chains: Creating link1 → link2 → /outsi...
