SCA: security update for @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend (GHSA-3x3q-ghcp-whf7)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 433371

Description

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

- @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend is the backend for the default Backstage software templates. Prior to
version 2.1.1, duplicate logging of the input values in the fetch:template action in the Scaffolder meant
that some of the secrets were not properly redacted. If ${{ secrets.x }} is not passed through to
fetch:template there is no impact. This issue has been resolved in 2.1.1 of the scaffolder-backend plugin.
A workaround for this issue involves Template Authors removing the use of ${{ secrets }} being used as an
argument to fetch:template. (CVE-2025-55285)
