Check this codebase for CVE-1999-0049 and fix it if it is affected.
What it is: CVE-1999-0049 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in Sgi Irix, published on 29 Sep 1999.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-1999-0049 in the wild and no public exploit code.
Affected product: Sgi Irix. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.
Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
