Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix several security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. However, the approach taken is incorrect for this monorepo setup. It replaces workspace: protocol specifiers with pinned versions, which breaks the internal package linking of the yarn workspace. This will likely lead to build failures or runtime errors due to version mismatches and breaking changes, including a significant downgrade of one package. The yarn.lock file has also not been updated. It is strongly recommended to close this PR and apply the dependency updates manually in a way that respects the monorepo structure, and then regenerate the lockfile.

These changes replace workspace:^ with pinned versions, which is not the correct way to manage dependencies in this Yarn workspace monorepo. This will cause packages to be downloaded from the npm registry instead of being linked to the local packages in the workspace.
This can lead to several critical issues:
- Breaks Monorepo Linking: The primary benefit of a monorepo, which is to use local, in-development versions of other packages, is lost.
- Major Version Mismatches: The versions being pinned are significant upgrades (and in one case, a major downgrade), which will likely introduce breaking changes.
@backstage/backend-common:0.19.2-next.0(local) ->0.25.0@backstage/backend-plugin-api:0.5.5-next.0(local) ->1.6.1@backstage/plugin-auth-node:0.2.17-next.0(local) ->0.6.0@backstage/plugin-permission-common:0.7.7(local) ->0.1.0(This is a major downgrade and will almost certainly break the application).
- Incomplete PR: As noted in the PR description,
yarn.lockhas not been updated, which is required after any dependency change.
The recommended approach is to identify the transitive dependencies that have vulnerabilities and update them in their respective package.json files within the monorepo. After updating the dependencies, run yarn install to update the yarn.lock file. This automated PR from Snyk should be rejected, and the fixes should be applied manually in a way that respects the monorepo structure.

Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/permission-node/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.
