Overview

@backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend is a The Backstage backend plugin that helps you create new things

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure via the task list ordering parameter in the scaffolder backend router, where an authenticated user can supply an arbitrary field name as the order query parameter when listing scaffolder tasks. Because the field value is not validated against an allowlist before being used in a database query, this allows an attacker to probe internal database schema details through error responses or ordering behavior, resulting in unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information.
