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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/org/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.

Walkthrough

This PR updates dependency management in the org plugin's package.json file. The changes convert three Backstage workspace dependencies from workspace protocol to fixed version specifications, ensuring version consistency across the project. The affected packages are @backstage/catalog-model (0.1.1), @backstage/plugin-catalog-react (1.0.0), and @backstage/theme (0.1.1). Additionally, the qs package is upgraded from version 6.10.1 to 6.14.2, which likely includes security patches and bug fixes from the minor version updates.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix two security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. While the update to the qs package appears correct, the changes to several @backstage packages are incorrect and will likely break your application. The PR replaces workspace:^ specifiers with pinned, older versions of the packages. This is a significant downgrade and defeats the purpose of using Yarn workspaces. It will likely lead to build failures or runtime issues and does not correctly address the ajv vulnerability. I've left a comment with a suggestion to revert these changes. The vulnerabilities should be addressed by updating the dependencies within their respective workspaces and regenerating the lockfile.

critical

This automated change incorrectly pins several @backstage dependencies to specific, and in some cases older, versions, replacing the workspace:^ specifier. This is likely to cause issues in a monorepo environment that uses Yarn workspaces and may not fix the underlying security vulnerabilities.

Specifically:

  • @backstage/catalog-model is pinned to 0.1.1. Based on the provided repository files, the workspace version is 1.4.1. This is a significant downgrade and will likely not fix the ajv vulnerability, which requires an upgrade of ajv to >8.12.0.
  • @backstage/plugin-catalog-react is pinned to 1.0.0.
  • @backstage/theme is pinned to 0.1.1. The workspace version appears to be 0.4.1, so this is also a downgrade.

The workspace:^ protocol is crucial for ensuring that you are using the version of the package from within your monorepo. Replacing it with a fixed version from a public registry will likely break your local development workflow and could introduce unexpected behavior or build failures.

The suggested change reverts these dependencies to use the workspace:^ specifier. To correctly fix the vulnerabilities, you should update the vulnerable transitive dependencies (like ajv) by updating the parent @backstage packages within their own workspaces, and then regenerate the lockfile.
