Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix several vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. While the update to lodash seems correct, the changes to the @backstage packages are problematic. Specifically, two packages are being critically downgraded, and others are being pinned to specific versions instead of using the monorepo's workspace: protocol. This is likely to break the build or cause runtime issues. I've left specific comments with suggestions to revert these changes. After addressing the dependency versions, remember to run yarn install to update the yarn.lock file, as noted in the PR description.

These packages are being downgraded to very old versions (0.1.0). The current versions in the workspace are much newer (0.7.7 for @backstage/plugin-permission-common and 0.7.11-next.0 for @backstage/plugin-permission-node). This is a critical error, likely from the Snyk bot, that will break the application. These changes must be reverted.

These packages are being pinned to specific versions, replacing the workspace:^ specifier. This deviates from the monorepo setup where packages are expected to resolve to their local workspace version, which can lead to inconsistencies. The recommended approach is to keep workspace:^ and update the packages within the workspace if needed.

This package is being pinned to a specific version, replacing the workspace:^ specifier. This deviates from the monorepo setup. It's better to keep workspace:^ and update the package within the workspace if needed to resolve vulnerabilities.

WalkthroughThis PR updates dependency management in the permission-backend plugin by transitioning from workspace protocol references to pinned versions for core Backstage packages. The changes affect backend-common (0.24.1), backend-plugin-api (1.6.1), plugin-auth-node (0.6.0), plugin-permission-common (0.1.0), and plugin-permission-node (0.1.0). Additionally, the lodash dependency is upgraded from ^4.17.21 to ^4.17.23, likely addressing known security vulnerabilities. This shift to explicit version pinning improves build consistency across environments and may indicate preparation for a production release or stricter dependency control requirements. Changes

Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/permission-backend/package.jsonNote 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 runyarnto update the contents of the./yarn/cachedirectory.If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.
