Check this codebase for CVE-2006-0218 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2006-0218 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in Mybb Mybb, published on 16 Jan 2006. It can be exploited over the network.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2006-0218 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Mybb Mybb. 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.
