SCA: security update for @backstage/plugin-auth-backend-module-cloudflare-access-provider (GHSA-q333-f498-w2x7)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 473806

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Backstage is an open framework for building developer portals. From 0.1.0 until 0.5.0, the
@backstage/plugin-auth-backend-module-cloudflare-access-provider package is affected by insufficient
audience validation in the cloudflare access auth provider. The Cloudflare Access auth provider verifies a
token's signature and team issuer, but affected versions do not verify that the token was issued for the
Backstage application. A user holding a valid token for another Access application in the same Cloudflare
Zero Trust team may therefore be able to authenticate to Backstage if that token reaches the auth endpoint
without the Backstage application's audience already being enforced upstream. Cloudflare Access normally
evaluates the protected application before forwarding requests. This issue is fixed in version 0.5.0.
(CVE-2026-106457)

Solution

Update the @backstage/plugin-auth-backend-module-cloudflare-access-provider library and its related packages to version 0.5.0 or later.
