| Package | Affected versions | Patched versions |
|---|---|---|
| gatsby-source-wordpress | ≥ 5.0.0, < 5.9.2< 4.0.8 | 5.9.24.0.8 |
| gatsby-source-wordpress | ≥ 5.0.0, < 5.9.2< 4.0.8 | 5.9.24.0.8 |
The gatsby-source-wordpress plugin prior to versions 4.0.8 and 5.9.2 leaks .htaccess HTTP Basic Authentication variables into the app.js bundle during build-time. Users who are not initializing basic authentication credentials in the gatsby-config.js are not affected.
Example affected gatsby-config.js:
resolve: 'gatsby-source-wordpress',
auth: {
htaccess: {
username: leaked_username
password: leaked_password,
},
},
A patch has been introduced in [email protected] and [email protected] which mitigates the issue by filtering all variables specified in the auth: { } section. Users that depend on this functionality are advised to upgrade to the latest release of gatsby-source-wordpress, run gatsby clean followed by a gatsby build.
There is no known workaround at this time, other than manually editing the app.js file post-build.
