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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/codescene/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, aims to fix a security vulnerability in the tar package. However, the proposed changes are incorrect and will likely break the application. The changes replace workspace: dependencies with old, pinned versions from the public registry. This is problematic in a Yarn workspace monorepo because it circumvents the workspace protocol and introduces significant downgrades for core packages, which will likely lead to build failures and runtime errors. The correct approach to fix the tar vulnerability would be to use Yarn's resolutions feature in the root package.json to enforce a secure version of tar, or to upgrade the tar dependency directly. This PR should be closed and the vulnerability addressed manually.

critical

These changes are incorrect and should be reverted. They replace workspace-local dependencies (workspace:^) with old, hard-pinned versions from the public registry.

This will likely break the build and the application because:

  1. It breaks the Yarn workspace linking mechanism, which is essential in this monorepo.
  2. It introduces major version downgrades for these core packages. For example, @backstage/config is being downgraded from a much newer version in the workspace to 0.1.1.

The vulnerability in tar should be addressed by using resolutions in the root package.json to force a non-vulnerable version, or by upgrading the direct dependency that brings in tar. These changes do not correctly fix the issue and introduce breaking changes.
