Security Impact
CVSS: 6.5
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N).
How to Fix CVE-2026-106458
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Backstage dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
npm install @backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-bitbucket-server@0.5.15
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls @backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-bitbucket-server
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2026-106458, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls @backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-bitbucket-server
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Backstage in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.5.15), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls @backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-bitbucket-server command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

"details" : "### Impact\n\nDeployments using event-driven updates in the Bitbucket Server catalog provider may ingest catalog locations from repositories that are excluded by the provider's configured project, repository, or archived-repository filters.\n\nAn authenticated Bitbucket Server user who can push to a filtered-out repository that remains readable by the configured Backstage integration can trigger a legitimate repository event. The affected event path may then add a Location for that repository even though scheduled discovery excludes it. This can cause catalog entities and metadata to be ingested from a repository that the operator did not intend to trust.\n\nDeployments that do not enable event support for the Bitbucket Server catalog provider, do not configure repository filters, or whose integration credentials cannot read the filtered-out repositories are not affected.\n\n### Patches\n\nUpgrade `@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-bitbucket-server` to version `0.5.15` or later. The fixed package is available in [Backstage v1.55.0](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/releases/tag/v1.55.0).\n\n### Workarounds\n\n- Disable event-driven updates for the Bitbucket Server catalog provider and rely on scheduled discovery until the patched package is deployed.\n- Restrict the configured Bitbucket Server integration credentials so that they cannot read repositories that must remain outside the catalog trust boundary.",
