Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix several vulnerabilities by pinning dependencies in plugins/fossa/package.json. However, the proposed changes are incorrect and will likely break the project. The PR itself warns that it 'Failed to update the yarn.lock', which indicates the dependency resolution failed.
The changes replace workspace: protocol specifiers with very old, hardcoded versions from the public registry. This breaks the monorepo's dependency linking for this package and leads to major downgrades and inconsistencies. I've left a critical comment with a suggestion to revert these changes. The vulnerabilities should be addressed by properly updating dependencies within the workspace, not by applying these automated but incorrect changes.

These changes incorrectly replace workspace:^ dependencies with very old, pinned versions from the public registry. This will break the monorepo structure and likely cause the application to fail to build or run, as it will use outdated versions of internal packages instead of the local versions from the workspace.
For example:
@backstage/core-componentsis being downgraded from a workspace version (which is0.13.4-next.0in this monorepo) to0.1.0.@backstage/plugin-catalog-reactis being downgraded to0.0.1from a much newer workspace version.@backstage/themeis being downgraded from a workspace version (which is0.4.1in this monorepo) to0.1.1.
These are major downgrades that will introduce breaking changes and regressions. The correct approach to fix the underlying vulnerabilities is to update the dependencies within the monorepo, not to pin them to old public versions. These changes should be reverted.

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.
