Snyk has created this PR to fix 1 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

• plugins/auth-node/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.

Walkthrough

This pull request updates the dependency management for the @backstage/backend-common package in the auth-node plugin. The change transitions from using a workspace protocol reference to a pinned version (0.24.1), which locks the dependency to a specific release. This modification ensures consistent dependency resolution across different environments and may indicate preparation for publishing the package to a registry or stabilizing the build process by removing reliance on local workspace versions.

Correctness: Pinning @backstage/backend-common to 0.24.1 breaks monorepo workspace resolution, causing version drift. Revert to workspace:^ to maintain consistent dependency resolution.

File: plugins/auth-node/package.json
Line: 25

Problem: The dependency `@backstage/backend-common` was changed from `workspace:^` to a hardcoded version `0.24.1`. This breaks the workspace protocol used in monorepo setups (like those using Yarn workspaces or pnpm workspaces), preventing automatic version resolution and potentially causing version inconsistencies across the project.

Fix: Revert the change to use `workspace:^` instead of the pinned version. The workspace protocol ensures that all packages in the monorepo use the same local version of `@backstage/backend-common`, maintaining consistency and enabling proper dependency linking.

Replace line 25:
    "@backstage/backend-common": "0.24.1",
With:
    "@backstage/backend-common": "workspace:^",

This maintains the monorepo dependency management strategy used by the other dependencies in this file (@backstage/config, @backstage/errors).
