Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix security vulnerabilities by changing dependency versions. However, the changes introduce significant regressions by replacing workspace:^ references with heavily outdated, pinned versions of internal packages. This will almost certainly break the application, as it represents a major downgrade of several core dependencies. The correct approach would be to identify the root cause of the vulnerabilities and update the transitive dependencies, possibly using resolutions in package.json, without downgrading core packages. The PR also failed to update yarn.lock, which further indicates the automated fix is incorrect. This PR should not be merged in its current state.

These changes incorrectly replace workspace:^ with old, pinned versions of @backstage packages. This is a significant downgrade and will likely break the application.
For example:
@backstage/core-app-apiis being downgraded from workspace version1.9.1-next.0to0.1.0.@backstage/plugin-catalog-reactis being downgraded from workspace version1.8.1-next.0to0.0.1.@backstage/themeis being downgraded from workspace version0.4.1to0.1.1.
Using workspace:^ is the correct approach in this monorepo setup. These changes introduce major regressions and should be reverted. The vulnerabilities should be addressed by updating the underlying problematic packages, for example by using resolutions in the root package.json, not by downgrading these essential packages.

Snyk has created this PR to fix 3 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.
Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/user-settings/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.
Vulnerabilities that will be fixed with an upgrade:
