Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix several security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. While the update to lodash appears correct, the changes to the @backstage packages are problematic. The PR incorrectly replaces workspace:^ dependencies with pinned, outdated versions from a public registry. This will break the monorepo's dependency structure and likely cause the application to fail. I've left a critical comment with a suggestion to revert these specific changes. The vulnerabilities should be addressed manually, likely by using resolutions in the root package.json for the affected transitive dependencies.

These changes from workspace:^ to specific, old versions are incorrect for this monorepo setup. The workspace:^ protocol ensures that packages from within this monorepo are used, rather than fetching them from a public registry. Pinning to these very old versions will almost certainly break the application due to API incompatibilities and other issues. For example, @backstage/core-plugin-api is at version 1.5.3 in the workspace, but this change pins it to 0.1.0.
If the goal is to fix vulnerabilities in transitive dependencies, the correct approach in a Yarn workspace is typically to use the resolutions field in the root package.json to force a specific version of the vulnerable package across the entire project.
These lines should be reverted to use workspace:^.

WalkthroughThis PR transitions the catalog-graph plugin from workspace-based dependency management to fixed version pinning. The changes update five dependencies: four internal Backstage packages (@backstage/core-components, @backstage/core-plugin-api, @backstage/plugin-catalog-react, and @backstage/theme) are converted from workspace protocol references to explicit version numbers, and the lodash dependency is upgraded from version 4.17.15 to 4.17.23. The lodash upgrade addresses known security vulnerabilities present in earlier versions. This modification suggests a shift in dependency management strategy, moving away from monorepo workspace references toward explicit version control for better stability and security. Changes

Snyk has created this PR to fix 6 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.
Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/catalog-graph/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.
