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/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.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix a vulnerability by updating dependencies. However, the proposed changes are incorrect and will likely break your application. The PR downgrades @backstage/core-plugin-api and @backstage/plugin-tech-insights-common from using local workspace versions to fixed, very old versions (0.1.0). This is a significant downgrade from the versions currently in your monorepo (1.5.3 and 0.2.11 respectively).

This incorrect change is likely due to Snyk's tooling not correctly handling yarn's workspace:^ protocol. The PR description also notes that it failed to update yarn.lock, which further supports this.

I've added comments with suggestions to revert these changes. I strongly recommend rejecting this pull request and addressing the vulnerability manually. You can likely resolve the issue by running yarn up within your monorepo, which will correctly update transitive dependencies like tar while respecting your workspace setup.

critical

This change incorrectly downgrades @backstage/core-plugin-api from a workspace dependency to a fixed, very old version (0.1.0). The version in your workspace is 1.5.3. This massive downgrade will likely break your application. This seems to be an error from the automated tool, which likely doesn't understand the workspace:^ protocol. This change should be reverted.

critical

Similar to the change for @backstage/core-plugin-api, this incorrectly downgrades @backstage/plugin-tech-insights-common to version 0.1.0 from a workspace dependency. The version in your workspace is 0.2.11. This will likely cause breakages and should be reverted. The underlying vulnerability should be fixed by correctly updating dependencies within the yarn workspace.
