Snyk has created this PR to fix 4 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/apache-airflow/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.

Summary of Changes

Hello @q1blue, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to enhance the security posture of the project by addressing four medium-severity vulnerabilities. It achieves this by updating specific @backstage dependencies within the plugins/apache-airflow/package.json file to newer, more secure versions.

Highlights

  • Vulnerability Fixes: This PR addresses four medium-severity vulnerabilities: two Directory Traversal issues (SNYK-JS-TAR), one Regular Expression Denial of Service (SNYK-JS-DIFF), and one Uncontrolled Recursion (SNYK-JS-ESLINT).
  • Dependency Updates: The @backstage/core-components dependency is updated from workspace:^ to 0.8.6, and @backstage/core-plugin-api is updated from workspace:^ to 0.1.0 in plugins/apache-airflow/package.json.
  • Automated PR: This pull request was automatically generated by Snyk to propose these security fixes.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix four security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. However, the proposed changes in plugins/apache-airflow/package.json are incorrect and will likely break the application. The PR downgrades @backstage/core-components and @backstage/core-plugin-api to very old versions, replacing the workspace:^ specifier which is crucial for this monorepo's integrity. This will cause major compatibility issues. The warning in the PR description about yarn.lock failing to update further indicates that these dependency changes are problematic. I have left a critical comment suggesting to revert these changes and find an alternative way to patch the vulnerabilities, such as using yarn resolutions.

critical

These changes introduce a significant downgrade of core Backstage packages. The versions are being pinned to very old releases (0.8.6 and 0.1.0), while the rest of the monorepo uses much newer versions (@backstage/core-components@0.13.4-next.0 and @backstage/core-plugin-api@1.5.3).

Using workspace:^ ensures that packages within the monorepo use compatible versions from the same workspace. Replacing this with hard-coded old versions will almost certainly lead to build failures, runtime errors, and API incompatibilities.

This automated change by Snyk seems incorrect for this monorepo structure. The vulnerabilities should be addressed without breaking the dependency management of the project. It's recommended to revert these changes and investigate a proper fix, for example by using resolutions in package.json to force a specific version of the vulnerable transitive dependency.

Walkthrough

This PR updates the dependency management strategy for the Apache Airflow plugin by replacing workspace protocol references with explicit version pinning. Two Backstage packages are affected: @backstage/core-components is pinned to version 0.8.6 and @backstage/core-plugin-api is pinned to version 0.1.0. This change moves away from the monorepo workspace dependency resolution pattern (workspace:^) to fixed version specifications, which is typically done when preparing a plugin for standalone distribution or to ensure consistent dependency versions across different deployment environments.

Changes

File(s) Summary
plugins/apache-airflow/package.json Updated Backstage dependency version constraints from workspace protocol (workspace:^) to pinned versions: @backstage/core-components to 0.8.6 and @backstage/core-plugin-api to 0.1.0.
