Summary

The @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend-module-sentry package is affected from 0.3.0 before 0.3.8. Improper input validation in its Sentry scaffolder actions lets the backend contact unintended destinations (CWE-918). An authenticated internal user who can run these actions may also disclose Sentry integration credentials. Subsequent impact depends on network reachability and the privileges granted to the configured token.
