WalkthroughThis PR updates dependency management in the catalog-backend plugin by converting 11 Backstage internal dependencies from workspace protocol references (workspace:^) to explicit semantic versions. The affected dependencies span core backend utilities, integration packages, authentication, events, scaffolder, and search modules. Additionally, the lodash dependency is upgraded from version ^4.17.21 to ^4.17.23, likely addressing known security vulnerabilities. This change appears to be part of a release preparation process or a shift in dependency version pinning strategy, moving away from workspace-relative versioning to fixed semantic versions for better version control and reproducibility.

Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix several security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies in plugins/catalog-backend/package.json. However, the proposed changes have critical issues that will likely break the build and should not be merged as is.
Firstly, several @backstage/* dependencies are changed from using the workspace:^ protocol to fixed versions. This is incorrect for a monorepo setup as it breaks the link to local packages, and in some cases, it introduces major version downgrades (e.g., @backstage/integration) or upgrades that are incompatible with the versions in the workspace.
Secondly, the lodash package is updated to version ^4.17.23, which does not appear to exist in the public npm registry, and will cause dependency installation to fail.
These issues need to be addressed by manually updating the dependencies in a way that is compatible with the project's monorepo structure.

These changes from workspace:^ to fixed versions are problematic in this monorepo setup. It breaks the link to the local packages and instead fetches them from the registry. This can lead to version mismatches and build failures.
For example:
@backstage/integrationis being downgraded from a workspace version (likely based on1.5.1from the monorepo) to0.1.0.@backstage/backend-plugin-apiis being upgraded from a workspace version (likely based on0.5.5-next.0) to1.6.1.
These are major version changes that will likely introduce breaking changes or cause the application to fail. While this PR is intended to fix security vulnerabilities, these changes are not safe to merge as-is. The dependencies should be updated in a way that respects the yarn workspace structure, for example by updating the versions of the packages within the monorepo itself and then running yarn to update the lockfile.

The lodash package is being updated to version ^4.17.23, but this version does not seem to exist on the public npm registry. The latest version is 4.17.21. This will likely cause the dependency installation to fail. Please verify the correct version to fix the vulnerability.

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.
