Check this codebase for CVE-2017-5682 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2017-5682 is a high-severity vulnerability in Intel Parallel Studio XE, Intel System Studio, Intel VTune Amplifier, Intel Inspector, Intel Advisor, Intel MPI Library, Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector, Intel Integrated Performance Primitives, Cryptography for Intel Integrated Performance Primitives, Intel Math Kernel Library, Intel Data Analytics Acceleration Library, Intel Threading Building Blocks Before 2017 Update 2, published on 28 Feb 2017. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-5682 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Intel Parallel Studio XE, Intel System Studio, Intel VTune Amplifier, Intel Inspector, Intel Advisor, Intel MPI Library, Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector, Intel Integrated Performance Primitives, Cryptography for Intel Integrated Performance Primitives, Intel Math Kernel Library, Intel Data Analytics Acceleration Library, Intel Threading Building Blocks Before 2017 Update 2. 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.
