Snyk has created this PR to fix 4 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/ilert/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.

Vulnerabilities that will be fixed with an upgrade:

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 is a crucial security update, initiated by Snyk, to address several vulnerabilities within the project's dependencies. It specifically targets the @backstage/theme package used by the ilert plugin, upgrading it to a more secure version. This change is vital for mitigating risks such as XSS and Open Redirect. While the package.json has been updated, a manual step is required to ensure the yarn.lock file reflects these security improvements.

Highlights

  • Security Vulnerabilities Addressed: This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix four identified security vulnerabilities. These include high-severity Cross-site Scripting (XSS) and Open Redirect issues, as well as a medium-severity risk related to the use of a cryptographic primitive with a risky implementation.
  • Dependency Upgrade: The @backstage/theme dependency in plugins/ilert/package.json has been upgraded from 0.0.0-use.local to 0.1.1 to incorporate the necessary security fixes.
  • Manual yarn.lock Update Required: The automated process failed to update the yarn.lock file. This file will require manual intervention to be updated and synchronized with the package.json changes before merging.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix several security vulnerabilities by changing the @backstage/theme dependency in plugins/ilert/package.json. However, the proposed change from workspace:^ to a pinned, older version 0.1.1 is incorrect for this monorepo structure. It is likely to cause significant issues, such as dependency conflicts and UI inconsistencies, because it forces an outdated version of the theme for one plugin while other parts of the application use a newer version from the workspace. This can break the application. I have left a comment with a suggestion to revert this change. The underlying security vulnerabilities should be addressed differently, likely by updating the actual problematic dependencies.

critical

Pinning @backstage/theme to a specific, older version (0.1.1) instead of using the workspace version (workspace:^) is incorrect in this monorepo setup. The current version of @backstage/theme in the workspace is 0.4.1.

This change can lead to critical issues:

  • Dependency Conflicts: Other packages, like @backstage/core-components, depend on the workspace version of the theme. Having two different versions of @backstage/theme can cause runtime errors, especially if it uses React Context.
  • Inconsistent UI: The iLert plugin would use an old theme, while the rest of the application uses the new one, leading to a broken user experience.
  • Maintenance Overhead: It breaks the main benefit of a monorepo, which is to use a single version of shared packages across all plugins.

This automated change by Snyk seems to be incorrect. The change should be reverted. The underlying security vulnerabilities should be addressed differently, for example by updating the root dependency that is causing the issue.
