Check this codebase for CVE-2022-30945 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2022-30945 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in Jenkins Pipeline: Groovy Plugin, published on 17 May 2022. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-30945 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected packages and fixed versions:
- org.jenkins-ci.plugins.workflow:workflow-cps (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2692.v76b
- org.jenkins-ci.plugins.workflow:workflow-cps (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2692.v76b

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.
