Snyk has created this PR to fix 3 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/catalog-backend-module-gitlab/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 from Snyk attempts to fix security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. However, the approach of pinning versions and removing workspace:^ is incorrect for this monorepo setup. It will break the local dependency resolution. I've provided a critical comment explaining the issue and suggesting to revert the changes. The vulnerabilities should be fixed by updating the transitive dependencies within their own packages and regenerating the lockfile.

critical

These changes from workspace:^ to pinned versions are incorrect for this monorepo setup. Using pinned versions instead of the workspace: protocol will break the yarn workspace dependency resolution, causing either build failures or unexpected behavior due to using published package versions from the registry instead of the local workspace packages.

For example:

  • @backstage/catalog-model is being downgraded from a local workspace version (which is 1.4.1) to 0.1.1.
  • @backstage/plugin-catalog-node is being downgraded from a local workspace version (which is 1.4.1-next.0) to 1.0.0.

The correct way to fix the underlying vulnerabilities is to update the vulnerable transitive dependencies within their respective packages in this monorepo (e.g., update tar inside @backstage/backend-common's package.json) and then run yarn to update the yarn.lock file. The workspace:^ references should be kept.

    "@backstage/backend-plugin-api": "workspace:^",
    "@backstage/backend-tasks": "workspace:^",
    "@backstage/catalog-model": "workspace:^",
    "@backstage/config": "workspace:^",

    "@backstage/integration": "workspace:^",
    "@backstage/plugin-catalog-node": "workspace:^"

Walkthrough

This pull request updates dependency management for the catalog-backend-module-gitlab plugin by replacing workspace protocol references with fixed version numbers. Three Backstage packages are affected: backend-common (pinned to 0.24.1), catalog-model (pinned to 0.1.1), and plugin-catalog-node (pinned to 1.0.0). This transition from workspace-relative versioning (workspace:^) to explicit version specifications establishes clear version boundaries and typically indicates preparation for independent package publication or stricter dependency control for compatibility management.

Changes

File(s) Summary
plugins/catalog-backend-module-gitlab/package.json Replaced workspace protocol references with fixed versions for three dependencies: @backstage/backend-common to 0.24.1, @backstage/catalog-model to 0.1.1, and @backstage/plugin-catalog-node to 1.0.0.
