[Snyk] Fix for 4 vulnerabilities

[q1blue]

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

Snyk changed the following file(s):

• plugins/kubernetes-backend/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, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to enhance the security posture of the plugins/kubernetes-backend module by upgrading two key dependencies. These upgrades are critical for resolving four identified security vulnerabilities, including high-severity issues like Cross-site Scripting and Open Redirect, as well as a medium-severity Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability.

Highlights

• Automated Vulnerability Fix: This pull request was automatically generated by Snyk to address 4 identified security vulnerabilities in the project's yarn dependencies.
• Dependency Upgrades: The @backstage/integration-aws-node dependency has been upgraded from workspace:^ to 0.1.0, and @kubernetes/client-node has been upgraded from 0.18.1 to 0.21.0 within the plugins/kubernetes-backend module.
• Vulnerabilities Addressed: These dependency updates resolve one medium-severity vulnerability (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption) and three high-severity vulnerabilities (Cross-site Scripting and Open Redirect).
• Manual Intervention Required: A warning indicates that the yarn.lock file was not automatically updated and requires manual intervention before merging, particularly for projects utilizing Yarn's zero-installs feature.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix four security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies in plugins/kubernetes-backend/package.json. While the intention is good, there are a few critical issues that need to be addressed before merging:

• Incorrect Dependency Downgrade: The @backstage/integration-aws-node package version has been changed from workspace:^ to 0.1.0. This is a significant downgrade and breaks the monorepo's workspace linking. I've left a specific comment with a suggestion to revert this.

• Missing yarn.lock update: As noted in the PR description, the yarn.lock file has not been updated. This is a critical omission, as without it, the dependency changes will not take effect. Please run yarn to generate the updated lock file and commit it to this PR.

• Inconsistent Dependency Version: The @kubernetes/client-node dependency is upgraded to 0.21.0 here, but it remains at 0.18.1 in plugins/kubernetes-common/package.json. For consistency and to avoid potential issues with duplicate versions, it's recommended to upgrade this dependency across the repository where it is used.

Please address the first two points before this PR can be merged.

[gemini-code-assist]

This change incorrectly downgrades @backstage/integration-aws-node from a workspace-relative version (workspace:^) to a hardcoded older version (0.1.0). The current version in the workspace is 0.1.5. This breaks the benefits of the monorepo workspace and pins the dependency to an outdated version. This was likely an error by the Snyk bot in resolving the workspace: protocol. Please revert this change.

Suggested change

	"@backstage/integration-aws-node": "0.1.0",
	"@backstage/integration-aws-node": "workspace:^",

[augmentcode]

Pinning @backstage/integration-aws-node to 0.1.0 looks like it may bypass the workspace package (this repo contains @backstage/integration-aws-node at 0.1.5), which can lead to pulling an older/duplicate copy and version skew across the monorepo—worth double-checking that this is intended.

Since this changes resolved dependency versions, please make sure the lockfile is updated accordingly before merge; otherwise installs may be non-reproducible and CI/production can resolve different transitive versions.
