Research direction

Start by reviewing the plugin package manifests and locating the @backstage/backend-common dependency and its transitive mysql2 resolution. Check the installed dependency tree and vulnerability reports, then update the affected Backstage dependencies so installation no longer resolves the vulnerable version across the plugins.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

There are some outdated backstage dependencies on these plugins that are causing some other versions to be resolved when installing this plugin.

This has a knock-on effect of some transient dependencies that vulnerabilities being installed and being detected by certain tools.

In this specific instance its the dependency of "@backstage/backend-common@npm:^0.20.1": that is requesting mysql2@npm:^2.2.5 which resolves to mysql2@npm:2.3.3 and that package has a critical vulnerability warning.

These plugins need to be updated to the latest backstage dependencies.
