Check this codebase for CVE-2012-5082 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2012-5082 is a medium-severity denial of service vulnerability in Oracle Javafx, published on 16 Oct 2012. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-5082 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Oracle Javafx. 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.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
