Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix several security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. However, the approach taken is not suitable for this monorepo structure. It replaces workspace:^ specifiers with pinned versions for internal packages, which undermines the benefits of Yarn workspaces and will likely lead to maintenance issues and inconsistencies. Additionally, the PR description explicitly states that the yarn.lock file has not been updated, which is a critical omission that needs to be addressed. The recommended course of action is to reject this change and instead update the vulnerable dependencies within their respective workspace packages, followed by regenerating the lock file.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Pinning internal workspace packages to specific versions is incorrect for this monorepo. It defeats the purpose of using Yarn workspaces with the workspace:^ protocol, which ensures internal packages use the latest code from each other. This change will cause maintenance problems and potential version conflicts.
The proper fix is to:
- Identify the vulnerable transitive dependencies within
@backstage/backend-plugin-apiand@backstage/plugin-events-node. - Update those dependencies in their respective
package.jsonfiles. - Run
yarn installfrom the monorepo root to update theyarn.lockfile.
This automated change should be reverted in favor of the correct manual fix. The PR is also incomplete as the yarn.lock file was not updated.

Snyk has created this PR to fix 6 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.
Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/events-backend-module-gerrit/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.
Vulnerabilities that will be fixed with an upgrade:
