Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/search-common/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 change introduces a dependency inconsistency by replacing the workspace reference with a specific version number. In a monorepo setup where other packages use workspace:^ references, switching just one dependency to a fixed version (0.1.1) breaks the consistency pattern and can lead to versioning problems.

The security vulnerability should be addressed by updating the @backstage/types package within the workspace rather than bypassing the workspace reference. This maintains the monorepo's dependency management approach while still addressing the security concern.

Consider updating the vulnerable dependency in its source location instead of changing how it's referenced here.

Suggested change
"@backstage/types": "0.1.1"
"@backstage/types": "workspace:^"
