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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/lighthouse-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.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix security vulnerabilities by upgrading @backstage/config. However, the proposed change from "workspace:^" to "0.1.1" is incorrect for this monorepo setup. It replaces a workspace-local dependency with a fixed, and significantly older, public version (the workspace version is 1.0.8, while this PR pins it to 0.1.1). This will likely lead to dependency conflicts, runtime errors, and break the application. The warning in the PR description about failing to update yarn.lock also indicates that the automated process failed. The correct approach would be to address the transitive vulnerabilities (in ajv and qs) using yarn's resolutions feature in the root package.json. As such, this PR should not be merged in its current state.

critical

This change incorrectly replaces a yarn workspace dependency with a fixed, outdated version. The workspace:^ protocol ensures that this package uses the version of @backstage/config from within this monorepo (currently 1.0.8).

By pinning the version to 0.1.1, you are introducing a significant downgrade that will cause this package to use a different version of @backstage/config than the rest of the application. This will likely lead to build failures or subtle runtime bugs.

The correct way to resolve the underlying security vulnerabilities in a monorepo is typically to use resolutions in the root package.json to force a newer, secure version of the transitive dependencies. This PR should not be merged as is.

Walkthrough

This pull request modifies the dependency management for the lighthouse-common plugin by changing how the '@backstage/config' package is referenced. The change transitions from using a workspace protocol reference (which resolves to local monorepo packages during development) to a pinned version specification (0.1.1). This modification likely indicates preparation for publishing the package independently, resolving version compatibility issues, or standardizing dependency versions across the codebase. The change affects only the package.json file and does not introduce any functional code changes.

Changes

File(s) Summary
plugins/lighthouse-common/package.json Changed '@backstage/config' dependency from workspace protocol reference ('workspace:^') to fixed version '0.1.1', pinning the package to a specific version instead of using monorepo workspace resolution.
