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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/badges/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 project's security posture by resolving six identified vulnerabilities. It achieves this by updating specific package dependencies within the plugins/badges module to more secure versions, addressing various security concerns from cryptographic weaknesses to denial-of-service risks.

Highlights

  • Vulnerability Fixes: This pull request addresses 6 security vulnerabilities identified by Snyk, including issues related to Improper Handling of Unicode Encoding, Cryptographic Primitive misuse, UNIX Symbolic Link Following, Prototype Pollution, and Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS).
  • Dependency Updates: The plugins/badges/package.json file has been updated to specify exact versions for @backstage/core-components (0.1.0), @backstage/plugin-catalog-react (0.0.1), and @backstage/theme (0.1.1), moving away from workspace:^ references.
  • Yarn Lock Warning: A warning is present indicating that the yarn.lock file was not automatically updated by Snyk and requires manual intervention to ensure consistency, especially for projects utilizing Yarn's zero-installs feature.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix 6 security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. However, the proposed changes in plugins/badges/package.json are incorrect and will likely break the project. The PR replaces workspace:^ dependencies with very old, pinned versions, which is a significant regression. This, combined with the fact that Snyk failed to update the yarn.lock file, strongly suggests an error in its dependency resolution for this monorepo. I have left a critical comment recommending the rejection of these changes and suggesting a manual investigation and fix for the vulnerabilities.

critical

These dependency changes from Snyk are incorrect and will likely break the application. The workspace:^ protocol is being replaced with very old, pinned versions of @backstage packages. For example, @backstage/core-components is being downgraded from a workspace version (currently 0.13.4-next.0 in the monorepo) to 0.1.0. This is a major regression and will likely cause build failures or runtime errors due to API incompatibilities.

The PR description also warns "Failed to update the yarn.lock", which further indicates that Snyk's automated process failed to resolve dependencies correctly for this monorepo.

These automated changes should be rejected. The correct approach is to identify the root cause of the vulnerabilities and update the necessary packages across the workspace, then run yarn to update the lockfile. I suggest reverting to the workspace versions.

    "@backstage/core-plugin-api": "workspace:^",
    "@backstage/errors": "workspace:^",

Walkthrough

This pull request updates the dependency management strategy for the badges 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 transitions the plugin from using local workspace dependencies to specific published package versions, likely in preparation for publishing the plugin independently or to establish more controlled dependency versioning outside of the workspace-level dependency management system.

Changes

File(s) Summary
plugins/badges/package.json Updated three Backstage package dependencies from workspace protocol references 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.
