Check this codebase for CVE-2022-41318 and fix it if it is affected.
What it is: CVE-2022-41318 is a high-severity vulnerability in Squid-Cache Squid, published on 25 Dec 2022. 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-2022-41318 in the wild and no public exploit code.
Affected product: Squid-Cache Squid. 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.

What is CVE-2022-41318?
CVE-2022-41318 is a high-severity vulnerability in Squid-Cache Squid, published on 25 Dec 2022. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
A buffer over-read was discovered in libntlmauth in Squid 2.5 through 5.6. Due to incorrect integer-overflow protection, the SSPI and SMB authentication helpers are vulnerable to reading unintended memory locations. In some configurations, cleartext credentials from these locations are sent to a client. This is fixed in 5.7.
Weakness: CWE-190
