Forge Permission Screen Fails to Mention External Sites

Forge
1

Hello.

I’ve noticed that Forge’s permission screen gets external permissions wrong?!.

The app has this permission descriptor:

permissions:
  scopes:
    - 'read:confluence-user'
    - 'storage:app'
  content:
    styles:
      - 'unsafe-inline'
    scripts:
      - 'unsafe-inline'
  external:
    fetch:
      backend:
        - '*'

However, on the permission screen, I get this set of permissions asked:

It says 0 external sites. Zero! The pure opposite on what the app actually does.

Am I understanding the permission screen wrong?

Update: I’ve created a bug [FRGE-816] - Ecosystem Jira.
Unless I’m missing something, this is imo quite a bad security bug. Because the app has more permissions that a customers things it has.

Hi Roman, thanks for raising. That definitely doesn’t look right. We’ll look into it.

In future, it would be great if could raise any security issues directly via a ticket or the bug bounty program so they can be addressed even sooner.
