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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/catalog-import/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.

This PR's approach to fixing vulnerabilities is concerning. Replacing workspace:^ references with fixed, outdated versions (0.1.0, 0.0.1, 1.1.20) will likely break the application rather than secure it.

In a monorepo using Yarn workspaces, the workspace:^ references ensure packages use compatible versions from the same codebase. Downgrading to these specific old versions:

  1. Introduces version incompatibilities
  2. May add new bugs or breaking changes
  3. Doesn't properly address the underlying vulnerability

A better approach would be to:

  • Keep the workspace:^ references intact
  • Update the vulnerable dependencies at their source within the monorepo
  • If external dependencies are vulnerable, update those to secure versions while maintaining workspace references

Consider rejecting this PR and addressing the @babel/runtime ReDoS vulnerability through proper dependency management that preserves the workspace structure.
