Check this codebase for CVE-2017-14375 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2017-14375 is a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in EMC VMAX Virtual Appliance (vApp) EMC Unisphere for VMAX Virtual Appliance versions prior to 8.4.0.15, EMC Solutions Enabler Virtual Appliance versions prior to 8.4.0.15, EMC VASA Virtual Appliance versions prior to 8.4.0.512, EMC VMAX Embedded Management (eManagement) versions prior to and including 1.4 (Enginuity Release 5977.1125.1125 and earlier), published on 1 Nov 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-2017-14375 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: EMC VMAX Virtual Appliance (vApp) EMC Unisphere for VMAX Virtual Appliance versions prior to 8.4.0.15, EMC Solutions Enabler Virtual Appliance versions prior to 8.4.0.15, EMC VASA Virtual Appliance versions prior to 8.4.0.512, EMC VMAX Embedded Management (eManagement) versions prior to and including 1.4 (Enginuity Release 5977.1125.1125 and earlier). 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.
