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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • packages/config-loader/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 config-loader package, transitioning from workspace-based monorepo references to published package versions for Backstage dependencies. The @backstage/errors and @backstage/types packages are now pinned to version 0.1.1 instead of using workspace protocol references. Additionally, the ajv JSON schema validation library is upgraded from version 8.10.0 to 8.18.0, incorporating eight minor version updates that include new features, bug fixes, and improvements to the validation library.

Changes

File(s) Summary
packages/config-loader/package.json Updated @backstage/errors and @backstage/types from workspace references to pinned version 0.1.1; upgraded ajv from ^8.10.0 to ^8.18.0.

Code Review

This pull request from Snyk aims to fix two security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. While the update to the ajv package is correct and addresses one of the vulnerabilities, the automated changes to @backstage/errors and @backstage/types are incorrect. These packages are being changed from using local workspace versions to being pinned to significantly older versions from the public registry. This breaks the monorepo's dependency strategy and will likely cause build failures. I've added a critical comment with a code suggestion to revert these specific lines to their original state, which will allow the security fix to be merged without introducing breaking changes.

critical

These dependencies are being incorrectly changed from using local workspace versions (workspace:^) to specific, older versions from the npm registry. This is a significant downgrade and breaks the monorepo's internal dependency linking. For example, @backstage/errors is being downgraded from the workspace version 1.2.1 to 0.1.1. This will likely cause build failures or runtime issues. These dependencies should continue to use the workspace:^ protocol to correctly reference the packages within this monorepo.
