Snyk has created this PR to fix 1 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/analytics-module-ga4/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.

Summary of Changes

Hello @q1blue, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to enhance the project's security posture by resolving a detected vulnerability. It achieves this by updating several core Backstage dependencies within the 'analytics-module-ga4' plugin, moving from workspace-relative declarations to specific version numbers.

Highlights

  • Security Vulnerability Fix: This PR addresses a medium-severity vulnerability (SNYK-JS-TAR-15038581: Improper Handling of Unicode Encoding) by updating package dependencies.
  • Dependency Version Updates: The 'plugins/analytics-module-ga4/package.json' file has been updated to specify exact versions for '@backstage/config', '@backstage/core-components', '@backstage/core-plugin-api', and '@backstage/theme' instead of 'workspace:^'.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix a security vulnerability but introduces critical breaking changes. The proposed changes downgrade several core @backstage dependencies to severely outdated versions, which will break the application. This approach is incorrect for a monorepo using Yarn workspaces. Furthermore, the PR notes that it failed to update the yarn.lock file, making it incomplete. This PR should be closed, and the tar vulnerability should be addressed by updating the specific dependency that uses the vulnerable version.

critical

These dependencies are being pinned to extremely outdated versions. For example, this change downgrades @backstage/core-plugin-api from a recent version (e.g., 1.5.3) to 0.1.0, which will cause major breakages. To maintain consistency in this monorepo, dependencies should use the workspace:^ protocol. This change should be reverted.

    "@backstage/core-plugin-api": "workspace:^",
    "@backstage/theme": "workspace:^"
