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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/analytics-module-newrelic-browser/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:

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix security vulnerabilities by upgrading @backstage/core-components. However, the proposed change is incorrect and harmful. It replaces the workspace:^ protocol with a hardcoded, outdated version (0.1.0), which breaks the monorepo's workspace linking and introduces a significant version downgrade. This will likely lead to build failures and runtime issues. I have left a critical comment explaining why this change should be reverted. The vulnerabilities should be addressed directly within the @backstage/core-components package.

critical

This change incorrectly modifies the dependency on @backstage/core-components. It replaces the workspace-aware version workspace:^ with a hardcoded, old version 0.1.0. In a monorepo using Yarn workspaces, this is problematic for several reasons:

  • Breaks Workspace Linking: It will cause this package to download @backstage/core-components from the npm registry instead of using the local version from the workspace. This defeats the purpose of a monorepo and can lead to inconsistencies.
  • Significant Downgrade: The version of @backstage/core-components in this repository is 0.13.4-next.0. Changing this to 0.1.0 is a major downgrade and will almost certainly cause build failures or runtime errors.
  • Incorrect Vulnerability Fix: While the intent is to fix a security vulnerability, this approach is incorrect. The vulnerability lies within @backstage/core-components or its dependencies, and should be fixed there, not by changing how a consumer package depends on it.

The fact that Snyk failed to update yarn.lock further indicates that this change is invalid. This PR should be rejected, and the vulnerabilities should be addressed by updating the dependencies within the @backstage/core-components package itself.

Walkthrough

This PR modifies the dependency management for the analytics-module-newrelic-browser plugin by changing how the @backstage/core-components dependency is resolved. The change replaces the workspace protocol reference with a fixed version number (0.1.0), effectively pinning the dependency to a specific version. This modification suggests the package is being prepared for independent publication outside the monorepo context or addresses specific version compatibility requirements. All other dependencies in the package remain unchanged, making this a focused update to a single dependency specification.

Changes

File(s) Summary
plugins/analytics-module-newrelic-browser/package.json Changed @backstage/core-components dependency from workspace protocol (workspace:^) to fixed version 0.1.0, pinning the dependency to a specific version.
