WalkthroughThis PR updates the dependency management strategy for the scaffolder-backend-module-cookiecutter plugin by replacing workspace protocol references with explicit version numbers for four Backstage packages. The changes pin @backstage/backend-common to 0.24.1, @backstage/integration to 0.1.0, @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend to 2.1.0, and @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-node to 0.2.0. This modification ensures deterministic dependency resolution and likely prepares the package for independent publication or distribution outside the monorepo workspace. Other dependencies continue to use the workspace protocol, indicating a selective versioning approach. Changes

Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix two security vulnerabilities by pinning several @backstage dependencies to specific versions. While addressing security is crucial, this approach of pinning workspace dependencies in a monorepo is problematic. It circumvents the workspace:^ protocol, which can lead to dependency hell with multiple versions of the same package, causing subtle bugs and making maintenance difficult. The PR description itself warns that the yarn.lock file was not updated, which is a major red flag and indicates an incomplete and potentially breaking change. I've added a critical comment suggesting to revert these changes and adopt a more robust strategy, such as updating dependencies across the monorepo or using Yarn's resolutions feature.

Pinning versions of workspace packages like this is not recommended in a monorepo. It bypasses the workspace:^ protocol, which can lead to multiple versions of these packages being installed. This can cause subtle bugs and increases maintenance overhead.
The Snyk PR description also warns: Failed to update the yarn.lock, please update manually before merging. This indicates that the dependency graph is likely inconsistent.
To properly fix the vulnerabilities, consider one of the following approaches:
- Update packages across the monorepo: Update the versions of the vulnerable packages in their respective
package.jsonfiles at the root of the monorepo and runyarnto update the lockfile. - Use Yarn resolutions: If a direct dependency update isn't feasible, add a
resolutionsfield to the rootpackage.jsonto force a non-vulnerable version of the transitive dependencies (e.g.,ajv,qs).
For now, these changes should be reverted to maintain the integrity of the yarn workspace.

Snyk has created this PR to fix 2 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.
Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/scaffolder-backend-module-cookiecutter/package.jsonNote 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 runyarnto update the contents of the./yarn/cachedirectory.If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.
Vulnerabilities that will be fixed with an upgrade:
