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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/shortcuts/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.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix four security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. However, the proposed changes are incorrect for this monorepo setup. It replaces workspace-relative package versions (workspace:^) with fixed, older versions from the public registry for @backstage/core-components and @backstage/theme. This will break the integrity of the yarn workspace and likely cause build or runtime failures due to version mismatches and downgrades. I've left a critical comment explaining the issue and recommending reverting the changes. The vulnerabilities should be addressed by updating the transitive dependencies within the workspace packages and then updating the yarn.lock file.

critical

These changes break the yarn workspace setup by replacing workspace:^ with pinned, older versions of @backstage/core-components and @backstage/theme. This will likely cause build failures or runtime issues as other packages in the monorepo expect workspace-local versions.

  • @backstage/core-components is being downgraded from its workspace version (0.13.4-next.0) to 0.8.6.
  • @backstage/theme is being downgraded from its workspace version (0.4.1) to 0.1.1.

The correct approach to fix the vulnerabilities is to identify the vulnerable transitive dependencies within the workspace packages (e.g., @backstage/core-components, @backstage/theme) and update them directly. After updating, run yarn to regenerate the yarn.lock file. It is recommended to revert these changes.

Walkthrough

This PR updates dependency management for the shortcuts plugin by replacing workspace protocol references with fixed version numbers. The changes affect two Backstage dependencies: @backstage/core-components is pinned to version 0.8.6, and @backstage/theme is pinned to version 0.1.1. This modification moves away from workspace-relative versioning (workspace:^) to explicit version pinning, which typically indicates preparation for standalone package distribution or resolution of specific version compatibility requirements within the Backstage ecosystem.

Changes

File(s) Summary
plugins/shortcuts/package.json Replaced workspace protocol (workspace:^) with fixed versions for two dependencies: @backstage/core-components pinned to 0.8.6 and @backstage/theme pinned to 0.1.1.
