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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/catalog-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.

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 project's security posture by resolving two identified vulnerabilities within its yarn dependencies. It specifically updates two @backstage packages to versions that contain the necessary security patches.

Highlights

  • Security Vulnerability Fixes: Addressed two 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: Updated @backstage/catalog-model to 0.1.1 and @backstage/plugin-search-common to 0.3.1 in plugins/catalog-common/package.json to resolve the identified vulnerabilities.
  • Manual yarn.lock Update Required: The yarn.lock file was not automatically updated by Snyk, requiring a manual update before merging, especially for projects using Yarn's zero-installs feature.
Changelog
  • plugins/catalog-common/package.json
    • Updated @backstage/catalog-model from workspace:^ to 0.1.1.
    • Updated @backstage/plugin-search-common from workspace:^ to 0.3.1.
Activity

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix two security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. However, the proposed changes are incorrect and potentially harmful to the project. The PR suggests massive downgrades for @backstage/catalog-model (from workspace version 1.4.1 to 0.1.1) and @backstage/plugin-search-common (from 1.2.5 to 0.3.1). This will almost certainly introduce breaking changes. Additionally, it replaces workspace:^ with pinned versions, which goes against the monorepo's dependency management strategy. I've recommended rejecting these changes and instead fixing the vulnerabilities by updating the underlying transitive dependencies directly. This PR should not be merged as is.

critical

This automated change introduces severe downgrades for @backstage/catalog-model (from workspace version 1.4.1 to 0.1.1) and @backstage/plugin-search-common (from workspace version 1.2.5 to 0.3.1). Such drastic downgrades will almost certainly cause breaking changes and should be avoided.

Furthermore, pinning to specific versions instead of using workspace:^ goes against the monorepo setup and can cause dependency resolution issues.

The correct way to fix the underlying vulnerabilities (in ajv and qs) is to update those transitive dependencies directly in the packages that use them (e.g., update ajv in packages/catalog-model/package.json) and then regenerate the lock file. These changes should be reverted.

Walkthrough

This PR updates dependency management in the catalog-common plugin by replacing workspace protocol references with fixed version specifications. Two Backstage dependencies are pinned to specific versions: @backstage/catalog-model to version 0.1.1 and @backstage/plugin-search-common to version 0.3.1. This change transitions from dynamic workspace references (workspace:^) to explicit version pinning, which is typically done when preparing a package for publication or addressing dependency resolution challenges in a monorepo environment. The modification ensures consistent dependency versions across different installation contexts.

Changes

File(s) Summary
plugins/catalog-common/package.json Replaced workspace protocol references with fixed versions for two dependencies: @backstage/catalog-model pinned to 0.1.1 and @backstage/plugin-search-common pinned to 0.3.1.
