Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix a vulnerability by pinning several @backstage dependencies to specific versions. However, this approach is incorrect for this monorepo which uses Yarn workspaces. Changing dependencies from workspace:^ to fixed versions breaks the local package linking and will likely cause build failures or unexpected behavior, especially since some of the pinned versions are significant downgrades. The PR should be closed and the vulnerability should be addressed by updating the transitive dependency (tar) in the appropriate package (@backstage/backend-common) and regenerating the yarn.lock file.

These changes from workspace:^ to pinned versions are incorrect for a Yarn workspace-based monorepo. This will cause packages to be fetched from the npm registry instead of being linked locally from the workspace, which can lead to inconsistencies and breakages, especially since some of these changes are significant downgrades (e.g., @backstage/plugin-search-backend-node from 1.2.x to 0.1.2).
The vulnerability is in the tar package, which is a dependency of @backstage/backend-common. The correct way to fix this is to update the tar dependency within packages/backend-common/package.json and then run yarn install to update the yarn.lock file. This automated PR should be rejected.
A suggested fix would be to update tar in packages/backend-common/package.json to a non-vulnerable version, for example ^6.2.1.

Snyk has created this PR to fix 1 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.
Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/search-backend-module-explore/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.
