Snyk has created this PR to fix 3 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/lighthouse-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.

Summary of Changes

Hello @q1blue, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, addresses three critical security vulnerabilities within the project's plugins/lighthouse-backend module. It achieves this by upgrading several core @backstage dependencies to newer, more secure versions, thereby mitigating risks associated with directory traversal and uncontrolled recursion.

Highlights

  • Dependency Updates for Security: Several @backstage dependencies in plugins/lighthouse-backend/package.json have been updated to specific versions (e.g., @backstage/backend-common to 0.24.1, @backstage/catalog-client to 0.2.0, @backstage/plugin-catalog-node to 1.0.0, and @backstage/plugin-lighthouse-common to 0.1.0) to address security vulnerabilities.
  • Vulnerability Fixes: This PR specifically targets and fixes three vulnerabilities: two instances of Directory Traversal (SNYK-JS-TAR-15032660, SNYK-JS-TAR-15127355) and one Uncontrolled Recursion (SNYK-JS-ESLINT-15102420).

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. However, the proposed changes are not compatible with the project's Yarn workspace setup. The PR incorrectly replaces workspace:^ dependencies with pinned versions from the public registry, which includes downgrading several packages. This is likely to break the build or cause runtime issues. I've left a comment explaining the issue and suggesting the use of Yarn's resolutions as the correct approach to mitigate the vulnerabilities without breaking the workspace integrity.

critical

These changes from workspace:^ to pinned versions are problematic in a Yarn workspace monorepo. This will break the local workspace linking and instead pull published (and potentially outdated) versions of these packages from the npm registry.

For example, this change downgrades:

  • @backstage/catalog-client from 1.4.3 to 0.2.0
  • @backstage/plugin-catalog-node from 1.4.1-next.0 to 1.0.0
  • @backstage/plugin-lighthouse-common from 0.1.2 to 0.1.0

This can lead to build failures or subtle runtime bugs due to version mismatches.

While the intent to fix vulnerabilities is correct, the approach is not suitable for this project's structure. The correct way to resolve these vulnerabilities would be to use Yarn's resolutions feature in the root package.json to force a secure version of the transitive dependency across the entire workspace.

Pinning these dependencies to public versions should be reverted.

Walkthrough

This PR updates the dependency management strategy for the lighthouse-backend plugin by replacing workspace protocol references with explicit version numbers for four Backstage packages. The changes affect backend-common (0.24.1), catalog-client (0.2.0), plugin-catalog-node (1.0.0), and plugin-lighthouse-common (0.1.0). This modification transitions from monorepo workspace dependencies to published package versions, which typically indicates preparation for package release or a shift in dependency management approach. The update ensures the plugin uses specific, versioned dependencies rather than workspace-relative references.

Changes

File(s) Summary
plugins/lighthouse-backend/package.json Updated four Backstage package dependencies from workspace protocol references to explicit version numbers: @backstage/backend-common to 0.24.1, @backstage/catalog-client to 0.2.0, @backstage/plugin-catalog-node to 1.0.0, and @backstage/plugin-lighthouse-common to 0.1.0.
