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. Prior to 1.54.6, cloud storage catalog
providers did not sufficiently validate object paths. A principal able to create or rename objects in a
configured Azure Blob Storage or AWS S3 catalog source could cause catalog descriptors to be read from
outside the intended storage boundary, limited to locations reachable with the backend's configured
credentials. This issue is fixed in 1.54.6. (CVE-2026-106493)

Update the @backstage/backend-defaults library and its related packages to version 0.17.8 or later.
