[snyk-io]

Snyk has created this PR to fix 4 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

• plugins/permission-backend/package.json

Note for zero-installs users

If you are using the Yarn feature zero-installs that was introduced in Yarn V2, note that this PR does not update the .yarn/cache/ directory meaning this code cannot be pulled and immediately developed on as one would expect for a zero-install project - you will need to run yarn to update the contents of the ./yarn/cache directory.
If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.

⚠️ Warning

Failed to update the yarn.lock, please update manually before merging.

Walkthrough

This PR updates dependency management in the permission-backend plugin by transitioning from workspace protocol references to pinned versions for several Backstage packages. The changes include upgrading @backstage/backend-common to 0.24.1, @backstage/backend-plugin-api to 1.6.1, @backstage/plugin-auth-node to 0.5.0, @backstage/plugin-permission-common to 0.1.0, and @backstage/plugin-permission-node to 0.1.0. Additionally, the lodash dependency is bumped from ^4.17.21 to ^4.17.23, likely addressing known security vulnerabilities. This shift to explicit version pinning improves dependency stability and ensures compatibility with specific versions of the Backstage ecosystem, potentially in preparation for a plugin release.
