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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/todo/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 the dependency management strategy for the todo plugin by transitioning from workspace protocol references to explicit version pinning for three Backstage packages. The changes affect @backstage/catalog-model (pinned to 0.1.1), @backstage/plugin-catalog-react (pinned to 1.0.0), and @backstage/theme (pinned to 0.1.1). This modification moves away from monorepo workspace references to fixed version specifications, which typically indicates preparation for independent package publication or the establishment of stricter version control policies. The change ensures reproducible builds and explicit dependency tracking for the todo plugin.

Changes

File(s) Summary
plugins/todo/package.json Updated three Backstage dependencies from workspace protocol to fixed versions: @backstage/catalog-model to 0.1.1, @backstage/plugin-catalog-react to 1.0.0, and @backstage/theme to 0.1.1.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix two security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. However, the proposed changes are incorrect as they downgrade several packages and replace workspace: specifiers with pinned old versions. This breaks the monorepo's package linking and will likely cause build failures without properly addressing the vulnerabilities. The changes should be reverted, and the vulnerabilities should be fixed by updating the transitive dependencies in their respective source packages.

These dependency changes are incorrect and will likely break the project. The workspace:^ protocol is used in this monorepo to link local packages. Replacing it with pinned, older versions constitutes a major downgrade and defeats the purpose of the workspace setup.

This change will likely cause build failures and does not properly address the security vulnerabilities. The correct fix would be to update the vulnerable transitive dependencies (ajv and qs) in their respective source packages (@backstage/catalog-model and @backstage/plugin-catalog-react) and then update the yarn.lock file, while keeping the workspace:^ references here.

    "@backstage/catalog-model": "workspace:^",
    "@backstage/core-components": "workspace:^",
    "@backstage/core-plugin-api": "workspace:^",
    "@backstage/errors": "workspace:^",
    "@backstage/plugin-catalog-react": "workspace:^",
    "@backstage/theme": "workspace:^"
