Code Review
This pull request from Snyk attempts to fix a security vulnerability by updating dependencies. However, the approach taken is incorrect for this monorepo. It replaces workspace: versioning with pinned versions, which breaks the yarn workspace conventions and can cause dependency issues. Additionally, the yarn.lock file has not been updated, meaning the fix is incomplete and the build is not reproducible. I've added a comment suggesting to revert these changes and update dependencies using the proper workspace workflow.

Pinning dependency versions here and removing workspace:^ goes against the yarn workspace conventions used in this monorepo. This can lead to having multiple versions of the same package, break local development workflows, and make dependency management much harder.
The correct way to resolve the underlying vulnerability is to update the dependencies within the workspace. You should revert these changes and then run a command like yarn upgrade-interactive --latest to resolve to a non-vulnerable version of the transitive dependency (tar), and then run yarn install to update the yarn.lock file.
As the PR description also warns, yarn.lock has not been updated, which is a critical omission. Without an updated lockfile, the vulnerability is not actually fixed.

Snyk has created this PR to fix 1 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.
Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/tech-insights-node/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.
