Summary

The @backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-bitbucket-server package from 0.4.0 before 0.5.15 filters repositories inconsistently in its event-driven catalog updates. An authenticated Bitbucket Server user with push access to a repository that the configured filters exclude can trigger a repository event (CWE-863). The event path then adds a catalog Location for that repository, even though scheduled discovery excludes it.

Description from the CNA

Backstage is an open framework for building developer portals. From 0.4.0 until 0.5.15, the @backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-bitbucket-server package is affected by inconsistent repository filtering in bitbucket server catalog event updates. Deployments 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. An 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 issue is fixed in version 0.5.15.
