Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix a vulnerability by pinning @backstage/config and @backstage/types to very old versions. This is a dangerous change that will likely break your build due to major version downgrades. I have provided a comment explaining the issue and suggesting a safer alternative using Yarn's resolutions feature to address the vulnerability without disrupting your project's dependencies. I strongly recommend rejecting this PR and applying the suggested fix manually.

Downgrading @backstage/config and @backstage/types and removing the workspace:^ specifier is highly problematic. This change pins these dependencies to very old versions (0.1.1), while the versions in the workspace are 1.0.8 and 1.1.0 respectively.
This massive downgrade will almost certainly break the build, as @backstage/catalog-model@1.4.1 likely depends on APIs from the 1.x versions that are not present in 0.1.1. The fact that Snyk failed to update yarn.lock is a strong indicator that this change introduces dependency conflicts.
To fix the underlying tar vulnerability without breaking your project, you should use Yarn's resolutions feature in the root package.json to force a secure version of tar across the entire workspace. This avoids disruptive changes to your direct dependencies.
Example for root package.json:
"resolutions": {
"tar": "6.1.11" // Or a newer, non-vulnerable version
}After adding this, you will need to run yarn install to update the yarn.lock file.
I recommend rejecting these changes and using the resolutions approach instead.

Snyk has created this PR to fix 1 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.
Snyk changed the following file(s):
packages/catalog-model/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.
