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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/code-coverage-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.

Vulnerabilities that will be fixed with an upgrade:

Walkthrough

This PR updates dependency management for the code-coverage-backend plugin by transitioning from workspace protocol references to explicit version numbers for internal Backstage dependencies. The changes affect four core Backstage packages (@backstage/backend-common, @backstage/catalog-client, @backstage/catalog-model, and @backstage/config), replacing workspace:^ references with specific versions (0.24.1, 0.2.0, 0.1.1, and 0.1.1 respectively). Additionally, the express dependency is upgraded from version 4.17.1 to 4.22.0. This modification likely prepares the package for independent publication or aligns with a shift away from monorepo workspace dependency management.

Changes

File(s) Summary
plugins/code-coverage-backend/package.json Updated four Backstage internal dependencies from workspace protocol references (workspace:^) to explicit versions: @backstage/backend-common to 0.24.1, @backstage/catalog-client to 0.2.0, @backstage/catalog-model to 0.1.1, and @backstage/config to 0.1.1. Upgraded express dependency from ^4.17.1 to ^4.22.0.

Code Review

This pull request from Snyk aims to fix two security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. However, the automated changes are incorrect for this monorepo setup. It replaces workspace:^ dependencies with pinned, and in some cases, severely outdated versions of @backstage packages. This will break workspace linking and likely cause the application to fail. Additionally, the yarn.lock file has not been updated, which is a critical omission.

I've left a comment with a code suggestion to revert the incorrect changes to the @backstage packages. The upgrade of the express package appears to be correct and should be retained. After applying the suggested change, you will need to run yarn install from the repository root to update the lockfile, which should properly resolve the vulnerabilities.

critical

These automated dependency upgrades from Snyk are incorrect for this monorepo. They replace workspace:^ versions with pinned, and in some cases, very old versions of @backstage/* packages. This will break the workspace linking and likely cause the application to fail.

These should be reverted to use the workspace:^ protocol. After reverting, please run yarn install from the repository root to update the yarn.lock file, which is also missing from this PR.
