[Snyk] Security upgrade @backstage/cli-common from 0.0.0-use.local to 0.1.1

[q1blue]

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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

• packages/create-app/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.

Vulnerabilities that will be fixed with an upgrade:

	Directory Traversal SNYK-JS-TAR-15032660	149
	Directory Traversal SNYK-JS-TAR-15127355	127

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix security vulnerabilities by upgrading the @backstage/cli-common package. However, the proposed change replaces the workspace:^ specifier with a pinned version (0.1.1), which is not ideal for this monorepo structure. This change would pin the dependency to an older version than what is available in the workspace (0.1.12) and could lead to dependency conflicts. My review includes a comment to revert this change and stick with the workspace:^ protocol to maintain consistency within the monorepo. After reverting, you will need to run yarn install to update the lockfile, which should properly resolve the vulnerabilities.

[gemini-code-assist]

This change incorrectly replaces the yarn workspace protocol workspace:^ with a pinned version 0.1.1. In a monorepo setup like this, using workspace:^ is crucial to ensure that the local package from the workspace is used. The version of @backstage/cli-common in this workspace is 0.1.12, which is newer than the pinned version 0.1.1. Pinning to an older, specific version can break the dependency consistency within the monorepo and prevent you from getting the latest updates and fixes from the local package. It is recommended to keep using workspace:^ and run yarn install to update the yarn.lock file, which should resolve the security vulnerabilities correctly by using the workspace's version.

Suggested change

	"@backstage/cli-common": "0.1.1",
	"@backstage/cli-common": "workspace:^",

Walkthrough

This pull request updates the dependency management for the @backstage/cli-common package in the create-app package. The change transitions from using a workspace protocol reference to a pinned version number (0.1.1). This modification ensures consistent dependency resolution across different environments and typically indicates preparation for package publication. By replacing the flexible workspace reference with an explicit version, the package becomes more portable and suitable for distribution outside the monorepo context.

Changes

File(s)	Summary
packages/create-app/package.json	Updated @backstage/cli-common dependency from workspace protocol reference (workspace:^) to pinned version 0.1.1.
