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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/dynatrace/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 security posture of the project by resolving six identified vulnerabilities. The changes primarily involve updating specific package dependencies in the plugins/dynatrace/package.json file to their patched versions, thereby mitigating known security risks and improving overall project security.

Highlights

  • Security Vulnerability Fixes: This PR, automatically generated by Snyk, addresses 6 security vulnerabilities across various dependencies. These include a high-severity UNIX Symbolic Link Following issue (SNYK-JS-BACKSTAGEBACKENDPLUGINAPI-15054291) and several medium-severity issues such as Prototype Pollution (SNYK-JS-LODASH-15053838, SNYK-JS-LODASHES-15053836), Regular Expression Denial of Service (SNYK-JS-DIFF-14917201), Improper Handling of Unicode Encoding (SNYK-JS-TAR-15038581), and Use of a Cryptographic Primitive with a Risky Implementation (SNYK-JS-ELLIPTIC-14908844).
  • Dependency Updates: The fix involves updating two key dependencies in plugins/dynatrace/package.json: @backstage/core-components has been updated from workspace:^ to 0.1.0, and @backstage/theme has been updated from workspace:^ to 0.1.1.
  • Manual yarn.lock Update Required: Snyk reported that it failed to update the yarn.lock file. A manual update of this file is required before merging to ensure all dependency resolutions are correctly reflected and consistent.
  • Zero-Install Users Note: For users leveraging Yarn's zero-install feature, it is necessary to run yarn after pulling this branch. This action will update the .yarn/cache/ directory, which was not automatically updated by the PR.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix several vulnerabilities by pinning @backstage/core-components and @backstage/theme to old versions. This approach is incorrect for this monorepo setup and is highly likely to cause breaking changes, build failures, or runtime errors. The dependencies have been downgraded significantly, and the use of workspace:^ has been removed, which breaks the internal dependency linking of the monorepo. I have left a critical comment explaining the issue and suggesting reverting the changes. The vulnerabilities should be addressed manually in a way that respects the monorepo architecture.

critical

This automated change by Snyk is incorrect and will likely break the application.

Here's why:

  • Incorrect Version Pinning: This change replaces workspace:^ with very old, pinned versions of @backstage/core-components and @backstage/theme. In a Backstage monorepo, workspace:^ ensures that packages use the most recent versions of other packages from within the same monorepo. Pinning to old, published versions breaks this crucial mechanism.
  • Major Version Downgrade: The version of @backstage/core-components is being downgraded from 0.13.4-next.0 (in the workspace) to 0.1.0. Similarly, @backstage/theme is being downgraded from 0.4.1 to 0.1.1. Such a massive downgrade will almost certainly introduce breaking changes and cause build or runtime errors due to API incompatibilities.
  • Monorepo Integrity: This change undermines the integrity of the monorepo. All plugins should be using compatible versions of core libraries to ensure consistency and prevent runtime issues (e.g., with React contexts).

The PR description also warns that yarn.lock failed to update, which is another strong indicator that this change is problematic.

The correct approach to fix these vulnerabilities would be to either:

  1. Update the vulnerable transitive dependencies within the @backstage/core-components and @backstage/theme packages themselves.
  2. Use Yarn's resolutions field in the root package.json to force newer, non-vulnerable versions of the transitive dependencies across the entire project.

This PR should be closed and the vulnerabilities addressed manually. I'm suggesting reverting this change.

Walkthrough

This PR updates dependency management for the Dynatrace plugin by pinning two Backstage dependencies to specific versions. The @backstage/core-components dependency is changed from workspace protocol to version 0.1.0, and @backstage/theme is pinned to version 0.1.1. This transition from workspace protocol (workspace:^) to fixed versions suggests the plugin is being prepared for standalone distribution or addressing specific version compatibility requirements. The change affects only the package.json file in the Dynatrace plugin directory.

Changes

File(s) Summary
plugins/dynatrace/package.json Pinned @backstage/core-components to version 0.1.0 and @backstage/theme to version 0.1.1, replacing workspace protocol (workspace:^) with fixed version specifications.
