Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix three security vulnerabilities by pinning several @backstage dependencies to specific versions. However, this approach is fundamentally flawed for a monorepo setup. It replaces workspace:^ specifiers with hardcoded versions, which will break the integrity of the workspace, lead to dependency conflicts, and create maintenance problems. Most critically, it attempts to downgrade @backstage/config by a major version, which will likely cause application failure. The PR also notes that it failed to update yarn.lock, making it incomplete and unsafe to merge. I recommend rejecting this PR and instead addressing the vulnerabilities by directly updating the affected transitive dependencies (tar and eslint) within the monorepo.

This change replaces workspace:^ dependency specifiers with pinned versions. This is highly problematic in a monorepo for several reasons:
- Breaks Monorepo Integrity: It forces this package to use specific published versions from the registry instead of the local versions from the workspace. This can lead to having multiple, incompatible versions of the same library in the final application, causing subtle bugs and increasing bundle size.
- Maintenance Issues: This package will no longer receive updates automatically when the workspace packages (
@backstage/backend-plugin-api,@backstage/config,@backstage/plugin-events-node) are updated. It will require manual version bumps, defeating a key benefit of using a monorepo. - Major Version Downgrade: The version for
@backstage/configis being changed from a1.xversion in the workspace to0.1.1. This is a significant downgrade that will almost certainly break the application.
While the intent is to fix security vulnerabilities, this approach is incorrect. The vulnerabilities should be addressed by updating the underlying dependencies (like tar and eslint) within the monorepo, or by updating the workspace versions of the @backstage/* packages themselves, rather than pinning them to external versions in this one package.

plugins/events-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.
