## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2019-2725 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2019-2725 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in Oracle Agile Product Lifecycle Management, published on 26 Apr 2019. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2019-2725 in the wild since at least 10 Jan 2022, including in ransomware campaigns.

Affected product: Oracle Agile Product Lifecycle Management. 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.
