Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix security vulnerabilities by pinning @backstage/core-components and @backstage/plugin-jenkins-common to very old versions. This approach is fundamentally flawed for this monorepo as it breaks the workspace: dependency management, which will likely lead to build failures and runtime issues. I've left a critical comment explaining why this change should not be merged and suggested reverting it. The vulnerabilities should be addressed through a proper dependency update or by using resolutions in the root package.json.

Pinning these Backstage dependencies to specific, old versions breaks the workspace: protocol used in this monorepo. This will almost certainly cause build failures or runtime errors due to API incompatibilities with other packages that expect newer versions.
The current workspace version for @backstage/core-components is 0.13.4-next.0, but this change attempts to downgrade it to 0.8.6. Similarly, @backstage/plugin-jenkins-common is downgraded from 0.1.17 to 0.1.0.
While this might resolve the Snyk-reported vulnerabilities in transitive dependencies, it's not a viable solution. A better approach would be to:
- Identify which dependency is bringing in the vulnerable packages (
tar,diff,eslint). It's likely a dev dependency like@backstage/cli. - Update that top-level dependency.
- If an update is not possible, use
resolutionsin the rootpackage.jsonto force a newer, non-vulnerable version of the transitive dependencies across the workspace.
This automated change is incorrect and should be rejected. Please revert these changes and address the vulnerabilities through a proper dependency update or by using resolutions.

Snyk has created this PR to fix 4 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.
Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/jenkins/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.
