WalkthroughThis PR updates the dependency management strategy for the azure-sites plugin by replacing workspace protocol references with explicit version numbers. Three Backstage dependencies are affected: @backstage/catalog-model (pinned to 0.1.1), @backstage/plugin-azure-sites-common (pinned to 0.1.0), and @backstage/plugin-catalog-react (pinned to 1.0.0). This transition from workspace:^ to fixed versions suggests preparation for package publication or a shift away from monorepo workspace dependency resolution, ensuring consistent and predictable dependency versions across different installation contexts.

Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix two security vulnerabilities by pinning versions of several @backstage dependencies. However, this approach is flawed as it replaces workspace: dependencies with specific, much older versions, effectively causing a major downgrade. This is highly likely to introduce breaking changes and destabilize the project. A safer and more idiomatic approach for a monorepo is to use resolutions to force specific versions of the vulnerable transitive dependencies (ajv and qs) without altering the direct dependency structure. The PR also notes that it failed to update yarn.lock, which means the fix is incomplete and potentially non-functional as is. I have recommended reverting these changes and using resolutions instead.

These changes introduce significant downgrades to several packages, which is likely to cause breaking changes and conflicts within the monorepo. Changing from workspace:^ to specific, older versions breaks the linkage to the local packages in the workspace and introduces outdated code.
For example:
@backstage/catalog-modelis downgraded from a workspace version (likely1.4.1) to0.1.1.@backstage/plugin-catalog-reactis downgraded from a workspace version (likely1.8.1-next.0) to1.0.0.
This is a very risky approach to fixing transitive dependency vulnerabilities. A better approach in a yarn workspace monorepo is to use the resolutions field in the root package.json to enforce a specific, non-vulnerable version of the transitive dependencies (ajv and qs) across all packages. This avoids downgrading direct dependencies and maintains consistency across the monorepo.
The fact that Snyk failed to update yarn.lock is a strong indication that these changes introduce dependency conflicts.
It is strongly recommended to revert these changes and use resolutions instead.

Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/azure-sites/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.
