Snyk has created this PR to fix 2 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/shortcuts/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.

Walkthrough

This PR updates the dependency management for the shortcuts plugin by changing the @backstage/theme package reference from a workspace protocol to a fixed version. The change moves from using workspace:^ (which references the local workspace version) to pinning the dependency at version 0.1.1. This modification ensures version stability and predictable behavior for the theme package dependency, which may be necessary for compatibility requirements or to avoid potential breaking changes from workspace updates. The change affects how the shortcuts plugin resolves and bundles its dependencies during build and distribution processes.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to resolve security vulnerabilities by upgrading the @backstage/theme package. However, the proposed change of pinning @backstage/theme to version 0.1.1 in plugins/shortcuts/package.json is not appropriate for this monorepo structure. It replaces the workspace:^ reference, which links to the local @backstage/theme package, with a fixed version from the public registry. This will likely cause dependency conflicts, bundle size increases, and inconsistencies, as the monorepo contains a newer version (0.4.1). The correct approach is to address the vulnerability within the @backstage/theme package itself or its dependencies at the monorepo level, while preserving the workspace linking.

critical

Pinning the @backstage/theme dependency to a specific version (0.1.1) breaks the monorepo's workspace linking. This package should reference the local @backstage/theme package using workspace:^ to ensure consistency and use the code from within this repository. The current version of @backstage/theme in the workspace is 0.4.1, so this change would also introduce an outdated version. The security vulnerability should be addressed within the @backstage/theme package at the root of the monorepo, not by pinning a version in a consuming package.
