Check this codebase for CVE-2022-30542 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2022-30542 is a high-severity vulnerability in Intel(R) Server Board S2600WF, Intel(R) Server System R1000WF and Intel(R) Server System R2000WF families, published on 11 Nov 2022. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-30542 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Intel(R) Server Board S2600WF, Intel(R) Server System R1000WF and Intel(R) Server System R2000WF families. 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.
