Check this codebase for CVE-2018-7829 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2018-7829 is a high-severity command injection vulnerability in Pelco Sarix Enhanced and Spectra Enhanced, Pelco Sarix Enhanced 1st generation and Spectra Enhanced PTZ, published on 22 May 2019. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-7829 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Pelco Sarix Enhanced and Spectra Enhanced, Pelco Sarix Enhanced 1st generation and Spectra Enhanced PTZ. 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.
