Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix several security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies in plugins/catalog-backend-module-bitbucket-cloud/package.json. However, the proposed changes are highly problematic. The PR downgrades several core @backstage packages to much older major versions, which will almost certainly break the plugin. It also includes major version upgrades for other packages, introducing a high risk of breaking changes. Furthermore, the PR description warns that the yarn.lock file has not been updated, making the PR incomplete and the build inconsistent. I've added a critical comment detailing these issues. I strongly recommend rejecting this automated PR and manually addressing the vulnerabilities by updating dependencies to compatible and recent versions, preferably across the entire workspace to maintain consistency.

This automated change from Snyk has several critical issues that need careful review before merging:
-
Dependency Downgrades: Some dependencies are being downgraded to much older versions. For example:
@backstage/integrationis downgraded fromworkspace:^(which resolves to1.5.1in the workspace) to0.1.0.@backstage/plugin-bitbucket-cloud-commonis downgraded fromworkspace:^(resolving to0.2.8) to0.1.0.
These are major version downgrades and are very likely to cause breaking changes, reintroduce old bugs, and remove features that the plugin might depend on.
-
Decoupling from Workspace: Changing dependencies from
workspace:^to pinned versions decouples this package from the rest of the monorepo. While this can be a temporary fix for vulnerabilities, it can lead to version conflicts and inconsistencies down the line. It's generally better to update the versions across the workspace if possible. -
Major Version Upgrades: Other dependencies are receiving major version upgrades (e.g.,
@backstage/backend-plugin-apifrom0.5.xto1.6.1). These also carry a high risk of breaking changes. -
Incomplete PR: The PR description explicitly warns:
Failed to update the yarn.lock, please update manually before merging.Without an updated lock file, these dependency changes may not be correctly applied, and the build will be in an inconsistent state.
It seems the automated dependency resolution has found a valid, but incorrect, set of versions. It is highly recommended to reject this change and manually update the dependencies to appropriate versions that resolve the vulnerabilities without introducing breaking changes or downgrades. A better approach might be to update the root-level dependencies for the entire workspace.
WalkthroughThis PR updates the dependency management strategy for the Bitbucket Cloud catalog backend module by transitioning from workspace protocol references to explicit version numbers. Seven Backstage packages are pinned to specific versions: backend-plugin-api (1.6.1), backend-tasks (0.6.1), integration (0.1.0), plugin-bitbucket-cloud-common (0.1.0), plugin-catalog-common (0.1.0), and plugin-catalog-node (1.13.0). This change replaces the flexible workspace:^ protocol with fixed version specifications, indicating a shift from monorepo workspace dependencies to published package versions. This modification is typically part of release preparation or a broader dependency management strategy update to ensure version consistency and reproducibility. Changes

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.
