Code Review
This pull request from Snyk aims to fix 6 vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. While the intention is good, the automated changes have incorrectly modified how workspace packages are referenced in plugins/auth-backend/package.json. It replaces workspace:^ with pinned versions, which is incorrect for this monorepo setup and will likely cause build failures. The pinned versions are also inconsistent, with some being major downgrades. I've left a critical comment suggesting to revert these changes, while keeping the lodash upgrade which appears correct. The yarn.lock file will need to be manually updated after correcting the package.json.

The changes to pin @backstage/* dependencies to specific versions are incorrect and will likely break the application. These packages are part of a yarn workspace, and should use the workspace:^ specifier to refer to the local packages within this monorepo.
Snyk's automation seems to have misinterpreted these workspace: dependencies, leading to inconsistent and potentially breaking version pinning (some are major downgrades, some are upgrades to versions that don't match the workspace).
The warning in the PR description Failed to update the yarn.lock, please update manually before merging. further indicates that these dependency changes are invalid.
It is recommended to revert these changes and keep the workspace:^ specifiers. The lodash update on line 58 seems correct and should be kept. After that, you should run yarn install to update the yarn.lock file and then re-run Snyk to verify if other changes are needed to fix the remaining vulnerabilities.

WalkthroughThis PR updates dependency management in the auth-backend plugin's package.json file. The changes transition several Backstage packages from workspace protocol references to explicit version numbers, including backend-common (0.25.0), catalog-client (0.2.0), config (0.1.1), and plugin-auth-node (0.6.0). Additionally, the lodash dependency is upgraded from version 4.17.21 to 4.17.23, which likely addresses known security vulnerabilities. These changes suggest preparation for package publication or alignment with specific version requirements across the project. Changes

Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/auth-backend/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.
