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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/ilert/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 PR updates the dependency management strategy for the ilert plugin by replacing workspace protocol references with fixed version specifications. Three Backstage dependencies are pinned to specific versions: @backstage/catalog-model to version 0.1.1, @backstage/plugin-catalog-react to version 1.0.0, and @backstage/theme to version 0.1.1. This change transitions from workspace-relative dependency resolution to explicit version pinning, which typically indicates preparation for independent package publication or resolution of version compatibility constraints within the monorepo structure.

Changes

File(s) Summary
plugins/ilert/package.json Updated three Backstage dependencies from workspace protocol to fixed versions: @backstage/catalog-model to 0.1.1, @backstage/plugin-catalog-react to 1.0.0, and @backstage/theme to 0.1.1.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix two security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. However, the proposed changes are incorrect and critically flawed. Instead of updating, the PR downgrades several @backstage packages to very old versions, replacing the workspace:^ protocol with pinned, outdated versions. This will likely break the application. The PR description itself notes that it failed to update yarn.lock, which further indicates issues with this automated change. I have added a comment with a suggestion to revert these changes and pointed to the correct way of fixing such vulnerabilities in a monorepo context, which is typically by using resolutions at the workspace root.

critical

This automated change incorrectly downgrades several @backstage dependencies to very old versions instead of using the versions from the workspace. For example, @backstage/catalog-model is being downgraded from the workspace version (which is 1.4.1) to 0.1.1. This is a critical issue that will likely break the build and introduce many other problems.

The workspace:^ protocol should be maintained to ensure consistency within the monorepo. The underlying vulnerabilities in transitive dependencies should be addressed at the repository root, for example by using resolutions in the root package.json to force newer, non-vulnerable versions of the affected packages (ajv, qs).

I suggest reverting these changes.

    "@backstage/core-components": "workspace:^",
    "@backstage/core-plugin-api": "workspace:^",
    "@backstage/errors": "workspace:^",
    "@backstage/plugin-catalog-react": "workspace:^",
    "@backstage/theme": "workspace:^"
