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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/entity-feedback/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:

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, aims to enhance the security posture of the project by resolving two identified vulnerabilities: a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) and an Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling issue. The fix involves updating specific package dependencies within the plugins/entity-feedback module to their patched versions.

Highlights

  • Vulnerability Fixes: Snyk automatically generated this PR to address two security vulnerabilities: a high-severity Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) (SNYK-JS-AJV-15274295) and a medium-severity Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (SNYK-JS-QS-15268416).
  • Dependency Updates: The plugins/entity-feedback/package.json file was updated to specific versions for @backstage/catalog-model (0.1.1), @backstage/plugin-catalog-react (0.0.1), and @backstage/plugin-entity-feedback-common (0.1.0) to resolve the identified vulnerabilities.
  • Yarn Zero-Install Note: Users leveraging Yarn's zero-install feature should be aware that the .yarn/cache/ directory is not updated by this PR, necessitating a manual yarn command execution.
  • Manual yarn.lock Update Required: The yarn.lock file failed to update automatically during the PR generation process and requires manual intervention before this pull request can be merged.
Changelog
  • plugins/entity-feedback/package.json
    • Updated @backstage/catalog-model from workspace:^ to 0.1.1.
    • Updated @backstage/plugin-catalog-react from workspace:^ to 0.0.1.
    • Updated @backstage/plugin-entity-feedback-common from workspace:^ to 0.1.0.
Activity
  • Snyk automatically created this pull request to address identified vulnerabilities.
  • The yarn.lock file update failed, requiring manual resolution.

Walkthrough

This PR updates the dependency management strategy for the entity-feedback plugin by converting workspace protocol dependencies to fixed version specifications. Three Backstage-related dependencies are transitioned from flexible workspace references ('workspace:^') to explicit version pins. This change affects the catalog model (pinned to 0.1.1), plugin catalog react (pinned to 0.0.1), and plugin entity feedback common (pinned to 0.1.0). The modification suggests a shift in the package's dependency resolution approach, potentially in preparation for package publishing, improved version control, or a change in the monorepo's dependency management strategy.

Changes

File(s) Summary
plugins/entity-feedback/package.json Converted three workspace dependencies to fixed versions: '@backstage/catalog-model' to '0.1.1', '@backstage/plugin-catalog-react' to '0.0.1', and '@backstage/plugin-entity-feedback-common' to '0.1.0', replacing 'workspace:^' protocol with explicit version pinning.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to resolve two security vulnerabilities by pinning several @backstage dependencies to specific, outdated versions. This approach is highly problematic as it significantly downgrades packages, breaking from the monorepo's workspace: protocol and likely introducing breaking changes. My review includes a critical comment recommending the rejection of this PR in favor of a manual fix, such as using resolutions in the root package.json to update the transitive dependencies (ajv and qs) without downgrading the main packages.

critical

This automated Snyk pull request attempts to fix security vulnerabilities by pinning dependencies to specific, and very old, versions. This is a dangerous approach that will likely break your application and defeats the purpose of using workspace: versions in a monorepo.

The following packages are being significantly downgraded:

  • @backstage/catalog-model: workspace:^ -> 0.1.1
  • @backstage/plugin-catalog-react: workspace:^ -> 0.0.1
  • @backstage/plugin-entity-feedback-common: workspace:^ -> 0.1.0

This will almost certainly introduce breaking changes. The correct way to fix these transitive vulnerabilities is to use resolutions in the root package.json to force a safe version across the entire project.

For example, you could add this to your root package.json:

"resolutions": {
  "ajv": ">=8.12.0",
  "qs": ">=6.11.1"
}

After making this change, you would need to run yarn install to update the yarn.lock file, which this PR failed to do.

It is strongly recommended to close this PR and address the vulnerabilities manually by reverting these changes and applying a proper fix.
