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-local dependencies with very old, pinned versions from the public registry, which constitutes a major and breaking downgrade. This will almost certainly break the application. I have left a critical comment recommending the rejection of these changes and suggesting a manual fix using yarn's resolutions feature to address the vulnerabilities without breaking the project's dependency structure.

This automated change from Snyk is incorrect and will likely break the project.
- Breaks Workspace Linking: It replaces
workspace:^with pinned versions. This breaks the yarn workspace convention of linking to local packages within the monorepo. - Major Downgrade: The versions being pinned (
0.1.1and0.0.1) are extremely old. The current versions of these packages in the workspace are@backstage/plugin-catalog@1.12.1-next.0and@backstage/plugin-catalog-react@1.8.1-next.0. This massive downgrade will almost certainly lead to compilation errors or runtime failures. - Incorrect Vulnerability Fix: While the intent is to fix vulnerabilities in transitive dependencies (
ajvandqs), this is not the right way to do it in this project. A better approach would be to address the vulnerabilities directly, for example by usingresolutionsin the rootpackage.jsonfile to enforce secure versions ofajvandqsacross the entire workspace.
I suggest rejecting this change and fixing the vulnerabilities manually. You should revert these changes and investigate a proper fix.

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 runyarnto update the contents of the./yarn/cachedirectory.If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.
