Check this codebase for CVE-2020-1695 and fix it if it is affected.
What it is: CVE-2020-1695 is a high-severity vulnerability in Fedoraproject Fedora, published on 19 May 2020. 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-2020-1695 in the wild and no public exploit code.
Affected packages and fixed versions:
- org.jboss.resteasy:resteasy-client (Maven): affected from 3.0.0; fixed in 3.12.0
- org.jboss.resteasy:resteasy-client (Maven): affected from 3.0.0; fixed in 3.12.0
- org.jboss.resteasy:resteasy-client (Maven): affected from 4.0.0; fixed in 4.6.0
- org.jboss.resteasy:resteasy-client (Maven): affected from 4.0.0; fixed in 4.6.0
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.

What is CVE-2020-1695?
CVE-2020-1695 is a high-severity vulnerability in Fedoraproject Fedora, published on 19 May 2020. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
A flaw was found in all resteasy 3.x.x versions prior to 3.12.0.Final and all resteasy 4.x.x versions prior to 4.6.0.Final, where an improper input validation results in returning an illegal header that integrates into the server's response.
