Snyk has created this PR to fix 6 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/catalog-unprocessed-entities/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.

Walkthrough

This PR updates dependency management for the catalog-unprocessed-entities plugin by transitioning from workspace protocol versioning to explicit version pinning for two Backstage packages. The changes affect the package.json file where @backstage/core-components is now locked to version 0.1.0 and @backstage/theme is locked to version 0.1.1. This modification ensures deterministic builds by removing the workspace-relative version resolution for these specific dependencies, while other Backstage dependencies continue to use the workspace protocol.

Changes

File(s) Summary
plugins/catalog-unprocessed-entities/package.json Changed dependency version specifications from workspace protocol (workspace:^) to fixed versions: @backstage/core-components pinned to 0.1.0 and @backstage/theme pinned to 0.1.1.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix several vulnerabilities by pinning @backstage/core-components and @backstage/theme to older, specific versions. However, this approach is incorrect for this monorepo, as it replaces workspace:^ dependencies with versions from the public registry. This change is likely to cause build failures, version conflicts, and runtime issues. The warning in the PR description, 'Failed to update the yarn.lock, please update manually before merging,' confirms that these changes have resulted in an invalid dependency state. It is strongly recommended to reject this PR and address the vulnerabilities by updating the source packages within the monorepo or their transitive dependencies.

critical

These changes replace workspace-local dependencies (workspace:^) with specific, older versions from the public registry. This is a critical issue in a monorepo setup as it will likely lead to version conflicts, inconsistent behavior, and may break the build. The workspace:^ protocol ensures that you are using the code from the local packages within this repository, and changing it defeats the purpose of a monorepo.

The correct approach to fix these vulnerabilities is to update the dependencies within the monorepo itself, not to pin to old public versions. Given that Snyk also failed to update yarn.lock, it's clear these changes have created an invalid dependency tree. These changes should be reverted.
