[Snyk] Fix for 3 vulnerabilities

[q1blue]

Snyk has created this PR to fix 3 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

• plugins/auth-backend/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.

The specified version 0.2.0 for @backstage/catalog-client appears significantly outdated compared to other Backstage packages being updated. This unusually low version number may indicate an incorrect version selection that could introduce compatibility issues with the rest of the codebase.

Please verify that this specific version properly addresses the vulnerability while maintaining compatibility with the other Backstage packages in the project. Consider checking the Backstage release notes or dependency compatibility matrix to ensure this version selection is appropriate.

Suggested change

	"@backstage/catalog-client": "0.2.0",
	"@backstage/catalog-client": "^1.4.0",
