Check this codebase for CVE-2016-9882 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2016-9882 is a high-severity vulnerability in Cloud Foundry Foundation cf-release versions prior to v250 and CAPI-release versions prior to v1.12.0, published on 13 Jan 2017. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-9882 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Cloud Foundry Foundation cf-release versions prior to v250 and CAPI-release versions prior to v1.12.0. 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.
