[Snyk] Fix for 1 vulnerabilities

[snyk-io]

Snyk has created this PR to fix 1 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

• packages/backend-test-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.

We have skipped reviewing this pull request. Here's why:

• It seems to have been created by a bot (hey, snyk-io[bot]!). We assume it knows what it's doing!
• It seems to have been created by a bot ('[Snyk]' found in title). We assume it knows what it's doing!
• We don't review packaging changes - Let us know if you'd like us to change this.

[graphite-app]

This change replaces workspace references with fixed versions, which breaks the monorepo's development workflow. In a monorepo, workspace:^ references ensure packages use local versions during development, enabling simultaneous changes across packages.

Instead of changing to fixed versions:

1. Update the vulnerable dependency in the workspace root
2. Manually update the yarn.lock file as mentioned in the PR description
3. Keep the workspace:^ references intact

This approach addresses the vulnerability while preserving the monorepo's development experience. The warning about manual yarn.lock updates in the PR description should be addressed before merging.

What is a critical CVE?

Contains a Critical Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE).

Remove or replace dependencies that include known critical CVEs. Consumers can use dependency overrides or npm audit fix --force to remove vulnerable dependencies.

Take a deeper look at the dependency

Take a moment to review the security alert above. Review the linked package source code to understand the potential risk. Ensure the package is not malicious before proceeding. If you're unsure how to proceed, reach out to your security team or ask the Socket team for help at support [AT] socket [DOT] dev.

Remove the package

If you happen to install a dependency that Socket reports as Known Malware you should immediately remove it and select a different dependency. For other alert types, you may may wish to investigate alternative packages or consider if there are other ways to mitigate the specific risk posed by the dependency.

Mark a package as acceptable risk

To ignore an alert, reply with a comment starting with @SocketSecurity ignore followed by a space separated list of ecosystem/package-name@version specifiers. e.g. @SocketSecurity ignore npm/foo@1.0.0 or ignore all packages with @SocketSecurity ignore-all

• @SocketSecurity ignore npm/jsonpath-plus@7.1.0
