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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/scaffolder-common/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, performs a security upgrade of the @backstage/types dependency within the plugins/scaffolder-common package. The upgrade aims to remediate three identified vulnerabilities, including two Server-side Request Forgery issues and one resource allocation vulnerability, enhancing the overall security posture of the project. Reviewers should note the requirement for a manual yarn.lock update.

Highlights

  • Security Upgrade: Automated upgrade of the @backstage/types dependency from workspace:^ to 0.1.1 in plugins/scaffolder-common/package.json.
  • Vulnerability Fixes: Addresses three security vulnerabilities: two low-severity Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF) issues and one medium-severity Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling vulnerability.
  • Yarn Zero-Installs Note: Includes a specific note for users employing Yarn's zero-installs feature, advising them to manually update the .yarn/cache directory.
  • Manual yarn.lock Update Required: Highlights that the yarn.lock file could not be updated automatically and requires manual intervention before merging.
Changelog
  • plugins/scaffolder-common/package.json
    • Upgraded @backstage/types dependency from workspace:^ to 0.1.1.
Activity
  • Snyk automatically created this PR to fix 3 identified vulnerabilities.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix security vulnerabilities by upgrading @backstage/types. However, the proposed change is incorrect for this monorepo setup. It replaces the workspace:^ protocol with a hard-pinned, outdated version (0.1.1), which will break the local dependency resolution provided by yarn workspaces. This is a significant downgrade from the in-workspace version (1.1.0) and will likely cause build or runtime issues. The change should be reverted to use workspace:^ to maintain the integrity of the monorepo's dependency structure. This PR should not be merged in its current state.

critical

This change incorrectly replaces the workspace:^ protocol with a pinned version. In this monorepo, workspace:^ is used to ensure that local packages from the workspace are used. By changing this to a specific version, you are forcing yarn to fetch this package from the remote registry instead of using the local one.

Furthermore, this is a significant downgrade. The version of @backstage/types in this workspace is 1.1.0, but this change pins it to 0.1.1. This will likely lead to build failures or runtime errors due to dependency mismatches.

The correct approach is to keep workspace:^ to refer to the package within this monorepo.

Walkthrough

This pull request modifies the dependency management for the scaffolder-common plugin by changing how the '@backstage/types' package is referenced. The change transitions from using a workspace protocol reference (workspace:^) to a pinned version (0.1.1). This modification suggests either a shift from monorepo workspace dependencies to published package dependencies, or addresses a specific version compatibility requirement. The change ensures that the plugin uses a specific, predictable version of the types package rather than relying on the local workspace version.

Changes

File(s) Summary
plugins/scaffolder-common/package.json Changed '@backstage/types' dependency from workspace protocol reference ('workspace:^') to fixed version '0.1.1', pinning the package to a specific published version.
