CVE-2026-106488
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-826h-28h9-65hg ↗EUVD-2026-94007 ↗
description
Backstage deployments using the OIDC provider module's email-based identity resolution are affected when their identity provider allows unverified email addresses. An authenticated identity-provider user could be associated with another catalog identity and gain that identity's access permissions.
mitigation
Upgrade the backstage package to 1.54.6 and plugin-auth-backend-module-oidc-provider to 0.4.20. Until upgrades are complete, require verified email addresses from the identity provider or disable email-based identity resolution.
fixed in 0.4.20
outcome
Mechanism verified: the exploit fired on the vulnerable build and stayed silent on the patched one, but the server it ran against was ours, so no check ships for it.
