CWE-601  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade @backstage/plugin-auth-backend to version 0.27.1 or higher.

Overview

@backstage/plugin-auth-backend is an A Backstage backend plugin that handles authentication

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Open Redirect via the OAuth redirect URI validation bypass. An attacker can intercept authorization codes by crafting a redirect URI that bypasses the allowlist and leads to an attacker-controlled host, provided a victim approves the OAuth consent request. This is only exploitable if experimental Dynamic Client Registration or Client ID Metadata Documents features are explicitly enabled.

Note:

This issue affects experimental Dynamic Client Registration and Client ID Metadata Documents features with configured allowedRedirectUriPatterns.
