In environments configured with default environment secrets, an authenticated attacker with permissions to create or modify templates can cause secret-derived values to be recorded in task logs. This issue leads to information disclosure, allowing any user with access to task execution logs to view sensitive credentials.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-06 21:41:54 UTC

Backstage is an open framework for building developer portals. Prior to 4.1.0, the @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend package could expose secret-derived values in Scaffolder task logs. Deployments that configure sensitive scaffolder.defaultEnvironment.secrets and allow an attacker to create or modify Scaffolder templates are affected. A template author could cause secret-derived values used during template iteration to be persisted and exposed to users who can access the resulting task logs. This issue is fixed in version 4.1.0.
