Code Review
This pull request from Snyk aims to resolve 6 security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies in plugins/badges-backend/package.json. While addressing security issues is important, there are two major concerns with this PR. First and most critically, the yarn.lock file has not been updated, as noted in the pull request description. This means the dependency changes will not be applied, and the vulnerabilities will persist. You must run yarn install and commit the updated yarn.lock file before merging. Second, this PR changes several @backstage dependencies from workspace:^ to pinned versions. This is a significant change that can lead to dependency conflicts or subtle runtime issues within the monorepo by causing multiple versions of framework packages to be installed. This approach seems inconsistent as other workspace dependencies are not pinned. Please carefully evaluate if this is the desired long-term solution or if the vulnerabilities can be addressed by updating the packages within the workspace.

This PR pins several @backstage dependencies to specific versions instead of using workspace:^. This is a significant change for a package within a monorepo because it opts out of using the local workspace versions of these packages. This can lead to installing multiple versions of the same framework packages, potentially causing subtle runtime bugs (e.g., with instanceof checks or singletons).
This change is also inconsistent, as other @backstage dependencies (e.g., @backstage/catalog-client) remain on workspace:^.
While this may resolve the reported vulnerabilities, please verify if this is the intended approach. A better solution might be to upgrade the packages across the entire workspace to resolve the transitive vulnerabilities while maintaining the integrity of the monorepo structure.
WalkthroughThis PR updates dependency management in the badges-backend plugin by transitioning from workspace protocol references to pinned versions for core Backstage packages. The changes include upgrading @backstage/backend-common to 0.25.0, @backstage/backend-plugin-api to 1.6.1, @backstage/catalog-model to 0.1.1, and @backstage/plugin-auth-node to 0.6.0. Additionally, the lodash dependency is upgraded from ^4.17.21 to ^4.17.23 to incorporate security patches. This shift towards explicit version management improves dependency stability and security while maintaining workspace protocol for other internal packages. Changes

plugins/badges-backend/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.
