There was a problem hiding this comment.
This change replaces the workspace reference (workspace:^) with a fixed version number (0.24.1), which breaks the monorepo's dependency management approach. In Yarn workspaces, internal dependencies should use workspace protocol references to ensure consistent versioning across the project.
Using fixed versions instead of workspace references can lead to:
- Version mismatches between components
- Duplicate package installations
- Potential build failures
- Difficulties when updating shared dependencies
Consider maintaining the workspace:^ reference while addressing the vulnerability through other means, such as updating the yarn.lock file or using resolutions in the root package.json to pin the vulnerable transitive dependency.

Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/catalog-backend-module-incremental-ingestion/package.jsonNote 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 runyarnto update the contents of the./yarn/cachedirectory.If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.
