Check this codebase for CVE-2023-29164 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2023-29164 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Intel(R) Server Board S2600WF, Intel(R) Server Board S2600ST, Intel(R) Server Board S2600BP, Intel(R) Server Board M50CYP and Intel(R) Server Board D50TNP, published on 12 Feb 2025. 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-2023-29164 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Intel(R) Server Board S2600WF, Intel(R) Server Board S2600ST, Intel(R) Server Board S2600BP, Intel(R) Server Board M50CYP and Intel(R) Server Board D50TNP. 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.
