Path traversal
Quick fix
GHSA-pgf8-28gg-vpr6 — @backstage/techdocs-common: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
npm install @backstage/techdocs-common@0.6.3Details
### Impact
A malicious actor could read sensitive files from the environment where TechDocs documentation is built and published by setting a particular path for `docs_dir` in `mkdocs.yml`. These files would then be available over the TechDocs backend API.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker would need access to modify the `mkdocs.yml` in the documentation source code, and would also need access to the TechDocs backend API.
### Patches
The vulnerability is patched in the `0.6.3` release of `@backstage/techdocs-common`.
