QID 982080: Nodejs (npm) Security Update for @backstage/plugin-techdocs (GHSA-gg96-f8wr-p89f)

Security update has been released for @backstage/plugin-techdocs to fix the vulnerability.

Note: The preceding description block is extracted directly from the security advisory. Using automation, we have attempted to clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

A malicious internal actor can potentially upload documentation content with malicious scripts by embedding the script within an `object` element. This may give access to sensitive data when other users visit that same documentation page.

The ability to upload malicious content may be limited by internal code review processes, unless the chosen TechDocs deployment method is to use an object store and the actor has access to upload files directly to that store.

CVSS V3 rated as High - 7.3 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 4.9 severity.

Solution

The vulnerability is patched in the `0.9.5` release of `@backstage/plugin-techdocs`.
