Snyk has created this PR to fix 6 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/puppetdb/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 updating several key dependencies within the plugins/puppetdb/package.json file. These updates are specifically targeted at resolving six identified vulnerabilities, ranging from medium to high severity, thereby mitigating potential security risks and improving overall project stability.

Highlights

  • Dependency Updates: Updated @backstage/core-components, @backstage/plugin-catalog-react, and @backstage/theme dependencies to specific versions (0.1.0, 0.0.1, 0.1.1 respectively) in plugins/puppetdb/package.json.
  • Vulnerability Fixes: This PR addresses 6 identified vulnerabilities, including a high-severity UNIX Symbolic Link Following issue (SNYK-JS-BACKSTAGEBACKENDPLUGINAPI-15054291) and several medium-severity issues such as Prototype Pollution, ReDoS, and cryptographic primitive misuse.
  • Manual Intervention Required: The yarn.lock file was not updated by Snyk and requires manual intervention to update before merging, especially for projects utilizing Yarn's zero-installs feature.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix several vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. However, the proposed changes are incorrect for this project's monorepo structure. The PR replaces workspace-local dependencies (workspace:^) with fixed, outdated versions from the public registry, which constitutes a significant downgrade and will likely break the application. Furthermore, the PR description explicitly states that the yarn.lock file failed to update, which is a critical issue. My review comment details these problems and suggests reverting the changes to maintain the integrity of the monorepo dependencies.

critical

These changes appear to be incorrect for a monorepo setup using Yarn workspaces and are likely to break the build.

  1. Incorrect Dependency Resolution: Replacing workspace:^ with specific versions (0.1.0, 0.0.1, 0.1.1) breaks the link to the local packages within the monorepo. This forces Yarn to fetch these packages from the public registry instead of using the local source code, which is not the intended behavior in a workspace setup.

  2. Major Dependency Downgrade: The versions being pinned are significant downgrades. For example, @backstage/core-components is being pinned to 0.1.0, but its version within this monorepo is 0.13.4-next.0. Similarly, @backstage/theme is pinned to 0.1.1 while its monorepo version is 0.4.1. Downgrading core packages so drastically is highly likely to cause build failures or runtime errors.

This seems to be an error by the Snyk automation, which may not fully support the workspace: protocol in Yarn. The correct approach would be to address the vulnerabilities within the workspace packages themselves.

Given these critical issues, and the fact that yarn.lock was not updated, I recommend reverting these changes.

Walkthrough

This PR updates the dependency management strategy for the PuppetDB plugin by replacing workspace protocol references with fixed version numbers for three Backstage packages. The changes pin @backstage/core-components to version 0.1.0, @backstage/plugin-catalog-react to version 0.0.1, and @backstage/theme to version 0.1.1. This modification moves away from monorepo workspace resolution to explicit version pinning, which typically indicates preparation for standalone package publication or addresses specific version compatibility requirements in the plugin's dependency chain.

Changes

File(s) Summary
plugins/puppetdb/package.json Updated three Backstage dependencies from workspace protocol to fixed versions: @backstage/core-components to 0.1.0, @backstage/plugin-catalog-react to 0.0.1, and @backstage/theme to 0.1.1.
