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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/adr-backend/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 ADR backend plugin's package.json file. The changes transition several Backstage packages from workspace protocol references to explicit version numbers, ensuring consistent dependency versions across environments. Key updates include pinning @backstage/backend-common to 0.24.1, @backstage/catalog-model to 0.1.1, @backstage/plugin-adr-common to 0.1.0, and @backstage/plugin-search-common to 0.3.1. Additionally, the Express framework is upgraded from version 4.17.1 to 4.22.0, which likely includes security patches and bug fixes. This appears to be a standard dependency management update, potentially in preparation for a release or to ensure version consistency.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix two security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies in plugins/adr-backend/package.json. While the intention is good, the execution is flawed. The PR incorrectly replaces workspace:^ protocols with pinned versions for several @backstage packages, leading to significant and breaking downgrades. This change disrupts the monorepo structure and will likely cause build failures or runtime errors. Furthermore, the PR notes that the yarn.lock file was not updated, which is another indication that these changes are problematic. My review includes a critical comment with a suggestion to revert the changes to the @backstage packages. The underlying vulnerabilities should be addressed by updating the root dependencies within the monorepo and regenerating the lockfile.

critical

This automated change from Snyk introduces several critical issues by pinning @backstage dependencies:

  1. Breaks Monorepo Structure: It replaces workspace:^ specifiers with pinned versions. This decouples the package from the monorepo workspace, which can lead to version conflicts, increased bundle sizes, and break local development workflows.

  2. Major Downgrades: Several packages are being downgraded to very old versions, which will likely break the application. Based on the project's structure and changelogs, here are the likely downgrades:

    • @backstage/catalog-model: from a recent version (likely ~1.4.1) to 0.1.1
    • @backstage/plugin-adr-common: from a recent version (likely ~0.2.11) to 0.1.0
    • @backstage/plugin-search-common: from a recent version (likely ~1.2.5) to 0.3.1

These changes are incorrect and will likely cause the build to fail or introduce runtime errors. The vulnerabilities should be addressed by updating the underlying dependencies within the monorepo (e.g., updating ajv in @backstage/catalog-model) and then regenerating the yarn.lock file. I recommend reverting these changes.
