Description
Impact
Users with the ability to commit changes to a repository that uses TechDocs can circumvent the MkDocs configuration file sanitizer introduced in response to CVE-2026-25153 and execute arbitrary code on the TechDocs backend host during documentation generation.
Patches
Patched in@backstage/plugin-techdocs-node version 1.15.4
Workarounds
If you cannot upgrade immediately:
- Use Docker mode with restricted access: Configure TechDocs with
runIn: docker instead of runIn: local. This provides container isolation, though it does not fully mitigate the risk.
- Limit repository write access to trusted parties, since exploitation requires the ability to commit files to a repository with TechDocs enabled.
- Review incoming changes to MkDocs configuration files as part of your code review process.
