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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/azure-sites-backend/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, aims to fix several vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. However, the changes made to plugins/azure-sites-backend/package.json are incorrect for this monorepo setup. It replaces workspace:^ dependencies with fixed versions, which will break the workspace linking and cause packages to be fetched from the public registry instead of using the local source. This can lead to using incorrect package versions and build failures. I've left a critical comment with a suggestion to revert these changes and guidance on the correct way to resolve the underlying vulnerabilities in a monorepo context. Additionally, the yarn.lock file needs to be updated after the correct dependency changes are made.

critical

The automated changes from Snyk are replacing workspace:^ with fixed versions for several @backstage packages. This is incorrect for a monorepo using Yarn workspaces. Using workspace:^ ensures that the local packages from the monorepo are used, which is crucial for development and consistency.

Pinning to specific versions will cause these packages to be downloaded from the npm registry instead of using the local source code. This can lead to several issues:

  • Using outdated or incorrect versions of internal packages. For example, @backstage/config is being pinned to 0.1.1, while the version in the workspace is 1.0.8. This is a significant downgrade.
  • Build failures or runtime errors due to API mismatches between local code and registry packages.
  • Making local development and testing across packages very difficult.

These changes should be reverted. The vulnerabilities should be addressed by either:

  1. Updating the dependencies within the respective workspace packages (@backstage/backend-common, @backstage/config, etc.).
  2. Using Yarn's resolutions field in the root package.json to force a specific version of the vulnerable transitive dependency across the workspace.

Additionally, as noted in the PR description, the yarn.lock file has not been updated. Any dependency changes must be accompanied by an updated lock file.

Walkthrough

This PR updates dependencies in the Azure Sites backend plugin, preparing it for publication or release. The @azure/identity package is upgraded to a newer minor version (^3.4.1), bringing potential bug fixes and improvements. More significantly, three Backstage internal dependencies are transitioned from workspace protocol references to specific pinned versions. This change indicates the plugin is moving from local development mode to using published package versions, which is a standard step when preparing a plugin for distribution or when stabilizing dependencies for a release.

Changes

File(s) Summary
plugins/azure-sites-backend/package.json Updated @azure/identity from ^3.2.1 to ^3.4.1; converted three Backstage dependencies (@backstage/backend-common, @backstage/config, @backstage/plugin-azure-sites-common) from workspace protocol references (workspace:^) to pinned versions (0.25.0, 0.1.1, 0.1.0 respectively).
