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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/events-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.

Walkthrough

This PR transitions the events-backend plugin from workspace-based dependencies to published package versions, preparing it for independent distribution. The changes update four key dependencies: three internal Backstage packages (@backstage/backend-plugin-api, @backstage/config, @backstage/plugin-events-node) are converted from workspace protocol references to specific pinned versions, and the Express framework is upgraded from version 4.17.1 to 4.22.0. The Express upgrade brings important security patches and bug fixes. This modification indicates the plugin is moving from a monorepo development setup to using stable, published versions of its dependencies.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix two security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. While the update to the express package is valid, the changes to internal @backstage/* packages are incorrect. The PR replaces workspace:^ specifiers with pinned versions, which is not appropriate for this monorepo structure. Furthermore, it attempts to downgrade @backstage/config to a very old version, which would likely break the application. The warning in the PR description about yarn.lock failing to update also indicates that the automated changes are not compatible with this project's setup. I've added a comment with a suggestion to revert the problematic changes while keeping the necessary security fix.

critical

These changes incorrectly replace workspace:^ dependencies with pinned versions. This is problematic in a monorepo as it bypasses using local packages from the workspace, potentially leading to inconsistencies.

More critically, @backstage/config is being pinned to 0.1.1, a significant downgrade from the workspace version (1.0.8), which will likely break the application.

These dependencies should be reverted to workspace:^ to ensure they use the correct versions from within the monorepo. The express package upgrade should be kept to resolve the security vulnerabilities.
