[snyk-io]

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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

• packages/backend-app-api/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:

Walkthrough

This PR updates dependency management in the backend-app-api package by transitioning from workspace protocol references to explicit version pinning. Multiple Backstage packages are pinned to specific versions: backend-common (0.24.1), backend-plugin-api (0.1.0), config-loader (0.1.1), plugin-auth-node (0.1.0), and plugin-permission-node (0.1.0). Additionally, the express package is upgraded from version 4.17.1 to 4.22.0. These changes establish more deterministic dependency resolution, likely addressing security concerns and ensuring version consistency across different deployment environments while preparing for a stable release.
