Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix two security vulnerabilities by pinning several @backstage dependencies to specific versions. However, this approach is incorrect for this monorepo setup. It replaces workspace: specifiers with fixed versions, which breaks the local package linking provided by Yarn workspaces. This will cause packages to be fetched from the registry instead of using the local source code, likely leading to build failures and inconsistencies. Furthermore, the yarn.lock file has not been updated, which is a critical issue. The recommended action is to reject these changes and instead use Yarn's resolutions feature or update the dependencies in their source packages within the monorepo to resolve the vulnerabilities, followed by updating the lockfile.

These changes incorrectly replace workspace:^ dependencies with pinned versions. In a monorepo setup like this one (using Yarn workspaces), this will cause the project to download these packages from the npm registry instead of using the local versions from this repository. This can lead to build failures, inconsistencies between packages, and makes local development very difficult.
Additionally, the pull request description notes that yarn.lock has not been updated, which is a critical omission for any dependency change.
The correct approach to fix these vulnerabilities is to either:
- Update the source package within the monorepo that has the vulnerability.
- Use Yarn's
resolutionsfield in the rootpackage.jsonto force a non-vulnerable version of the transitive dependency (e.g.,taroreslint).
After applying the correct fix, you must run yarn to update the yarn.lock file accordingly. I suggest reverting these changes and applying a proper fix.

WalkthroughThis PR updates the dependency management strategy for the user-settings-backend plugin by converting four Backstage dependencies from workspace protocol references to explicit version numbers. The affected packages are @backstage/backend-common (0.24.1), @backstage/catalog-model (0.1.1), @backstage/errors (0.1.1), and @backstage/plugin-auth-node (0.6.0). This change pins these dependencies to specific versions, which is typically done when preparing a plugin for standalone distribution or to ensure version stability across different environments. Other dependencies continue to use the workspace protocol, indicating a selective approach to version pinning. Changes

Snyk has created this PR to fix 2 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.
Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/user-settings-backend/package.jsonNote 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 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.
Vulnerabilities that will be fixed with an upgrade:
