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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • packages/dev-utils/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 pull request updates the dependency management strategy for the dev-utils package by replacing workspace protocol references with explicit version numbers for four Backstage packages. The changes affect @backstage/catalog-model (0.1.1), @backstage/core-components (0.1.0), @backstage/integration-react (0.1.1), and @backstage/plugin-catalog-react (1.0.0). This modification transitions from monorepo workspace resolution to pinned version dependencies, likely in preparation for independent package publication or to establish stricter version control over dependencies.

Changes

File(s) Summary
packages/dev-utils/package.json Replaced workspace protocol references with explicit version numbers for four Backstage dependencies: @backstage/catalog-model (0.1.1), @backstage/core-components (0.1.0), @backstage/integration-react (0.1.1), and @backstage/plugin-catalog-react (1.0.0).

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix two security vulnerabilities by pinning several @backstage dependencies to specific versions. However, this approach is incorrect for a monorepo using Yarn workspaces as it replaces workspace: specifiers with fixed, and significantly older, versions. This will likely break the build and introduce many regressions. The correct approach is to update the vulnerable transitive dependencies (ajv and qs) within their respective packages in the monorepo. I have left a critical review comment with a suggestion to revert these changes and outlined the correct path to remediation.

critical

This automated change incorrectly attempts to fix vulnerabilities by pinning workspace dependencies to old, fixed versions. This will likely break the project.

Issues:

  • Breaks Yarn Workspaces: Replacing workspace:^ with fixed versions defeats the purpose of a monorepo setup, causing packages to use outdated, published code instead of local, up-to-date sources.
  • Major Downgrades: The pinned versions are significant downgrades (e.g., @backstage/catalog-model from 1.4.1 to 0.1.1), which will almost certainly cause breaking changes.
  • Incorrect Fix Strategy: The vulnerabilities are in transitive dependencies (ajv and qs). The fix should be to update these dependencies in their own packages (packages/catalog-model/package.json and packages/core-components/package.json), not to alter the dependencies of @backstage/dev-utils.

I'm suggesting to revert these changes. The vulnerabilities should be addressed by updating the underlying dependencies directly in their respective packages.
