CVE-2026-32237: @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend: Possible exposure of defaultEnvironment secrets using dry-run endpoint

March 12, 2026 (updated March 13, 2026)

Authenticated users with permission to execute scaffolder dry-runs can gain access to server-configured environment secrets through the dry-run API response. Secrets are properly redacted in log output but not in all parts of the response payload.

Deployments that have configured scaffolder.defaultEnvironment.secrets are affected.
