CVE-2024-26150
Description
A flaw was found in the backstage/backend-common package. Path checks with the "resolveSafeChildPath" utility were not exhaustive enough, leading to the risk of a path traversal vulnerability if symlinks are injected by attackers.
Statement
RHDH actions do not use symlinks and would not be exposed. There is a small chance that customers can use 3rd party software templates that use symlinks but it's a low risk and to our knowledge, none of our customers are going into production with 1.0. If they had intentions to, we would advise them to use 1.1 which is patched already.
Since 1.0 is in maintenance mode, our decision is aligned with our lifecycle policy to only backport critical and important CVEs. So marking as would not fix.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
