Quick fix

GHSA-8qp7-fhr9-fw53 — @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

npm install @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend@3.1.4

Details

### Impact

A malicious scaffolder template can bypass the log redaction mechanism to exfiltrate secrets provided run through task event logs.

The attack requires: - The ability to register a template in the catalog - A victim who executes the malicious template

### Patches Patched in `@backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend` version 3.1.4

### Workarounds - Implement a custom permission policy that restricts scaffolder.task.read so users can only read their own task logs - Restrict who can register templates in the catalog to trusted users only

### Resources - Backstage Scaffolder permissions documentation: https://backstage.io/docs/permissions/plugin-authors/01-setup/ - Backstage Threat Model: https://backstage.io/docs/overview/threat-model/
