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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/tech-radar/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:

Summary of Changes

Hello @q1blue, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to enhance the security posture of the project by resolving two identified vulnerabilities: a high-severity Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) and a medium-severity resource allocation issue. The fix involves updating specific dependency versions within the plugins/tech-radar package.

Highlights

  • Security Vulnerability Fixes: This PR addresses two security vulnerabilities: a high-severity Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) (SNYK-JS-AJV-15274295) and a medium-severity Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (SNYK-JS-QS-15268416).
  • Dependency Version Updates: The plugins/tech-radar/package.json file has been updated to specify exact versions for @backstage/core-components (now 0.1.0) and @backstage/theme (now 0.1.1).
  • Manual yarn.lock Update Required: The automated process failed to update the yarn.lock file, which will require manual intervention by the developer before merging.
Changelog
  • plugins/tech-radar/package.json
    • Updated @backstage/core-components dependency from workspace:^ to 0.1.0.
    • Updated @backstage/theme dependency from workspace:^ to 0.1.1.
Activity
  • Snyk automatically created this pull request to address identified security vulnerabilities.
  • The PR description includes details on the vulnerabilities fixed and instructions for zero-install users.
  • A warning is present indicating that the yarn.lock file failed to update and requires manual intervention.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix two security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. However, the proposed changes are incorrect for this monorepo setup. It replaces workspace:^ dependencies with pinned versions, which will break the local development workflow that relies on packages within the workspace. The correct approach is to identify which packages introduce the vulnerable dependencies (ajv and qs) and update them directly in their respective package.json files. Therefore, I recommend closing this PR and addressing the vulnerabilities manually.

critical

These changes incorrectly replace workspace:^ with fixed versions for internal packages. In a monorepo using Yarn workspaces, workspace:^ ensures that you are using the latest code from other packages within the same repository. Pinning to a specific published version breaks this, and can lead to using outdated code from the registry instead of the local source, which will likely break local development and testing.

The correct way to fix the underlying security vulnerabilities is to update the vulnerable dependencies in their respective source packages. For example, the qs vulnerability should be fixed by updating the qs dependency in @backstage/core-components/package.json.

Walkthrough

This PR updates the dependency management strategy for the tech-radar plugin by transitioning from workspace protocol references to fixed version numbers. Specifically, two Backstage packages are pinned to explicit versions: @backstage/core-components is set to version 0.1.0 and @backstage/theme to version 0.1.1. This change moves away from the dynamic workspace dependency resolution (workspace:^) to concrete version specifications, which is typically done to ensure dependency stability, prepare the plugin for publication to a package registry, or maintain consistent behavior across different environments.

Changes

File(s) Summary
plugins/tech-radar/package.json Updated dependency specifications from workspace protocol (workspace:^) to fixed versions: @backstage/core-components to 0.1.0 and @backstage/theme to 0.1.1.
