CVE-2021-32770 – Basic-auth app bundle credential exposure in gatsby-source-wordpress

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2021-32770

Gatsby is a framework for building websites. 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. A patch has been introduced in gatsby-source-wordpress@4.0.8 and gatsby-source-wordpress@5.9.2 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`. • https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/security/advisories/GHSA-rqjw-p5vr-c695 • CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor CWE-522: Insufficiently Protected Credentials •
