WalkthroughThis PR updates the dependency management strategy for the catalog-node plugin by replacing workspace protocol references with explicit version numbers. Four Backstage packages are affected: backend-plugin-api (0.6.19), catalog-model (0.1.1), errors (0.1.1), and plugin-catalog-common (0.1.0). This change transitions from workspace-relative versioning to pinned versions, which is a common practice when preparing a package for publication or moving away from monorepo development patterns. The update ensures that the plugin will use specific, known versions of its dependencies rather than relying on workspace resolution. Changes

Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix two security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies in plugins/catalog-node/package.json. However, the approach taken is incorrect for this monorepo setup. It replaces workspace:^ package references with pinned, and in most cases, severely outdated versions. This change breaks the yarn workspace linking, will likely cause build failures, and does not correctly address the root cause of the vulnerabilities. The correct approach is to update the vulnerable transitive dependencies within their respective workspace packages and regenerate the yarn.lock file. The changes in this PR should be reverted, and the vulnerabilities should be addressed manually.

These changes incorrectly replace workspace:^ references with pinned versions. In a monorepo using Yarn workspaces, packages should reference each other using workspace:^ to ensure they use the version from the local workspace. Pinning to specific versions like this breaks the monorepo structure and can lead to using stale code or build failures. The PR description's warning about failing to update yarn.lock is a strong indicator that this approach is flawed.
Furthermore, the versions being pinned are inconsistent and likely incorrect:
@backstage/catalog-modelis downgraded from1.4.1to0.1.1.@backstage/errorsis downgraded from1.2.1to0.1.1.@backstage/plugin-catalog-commonis downgraded from1.0.15to0.1.0.
This will almost certainly break the application.
To correctly fix the underlying vulnerabilities, the dependencies within the respective workspace packages should be updated (e.g., ajv in @backstage/catalog-model), and then yarn.lock should be regenerated by running yarn. These changes should be reverted.

Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/catalog-node/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:
