Check this codebase for CVE-2024-26022 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2024-26022 is a high-severity vulnerability in Intel(R) UEFI Integrator Tools on Aptio V for Intel(R) NUC, published on 14 Aug 2024. 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-2024-26022 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Intel(R) UEFI Integrator Tools on Aptio V for Intel(R) NUC. 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.
