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 GHSA-qjcv-rx3v-7mvj?
GHSA-qjcv-rx3v-7mvj is a vulnerability in github.com/cosmos/ibc-go, published on 20 May 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The ibc-go module is affected by the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol "Huckleberry" vulnerability. The vulnerability allowed an attacker to send arbitrary transactions onto target chains and trigger arbitrary state transitions, including but not limited to, theft of funds. It was possible to exploit this vulnerability in specific situations involving relaying packets in which the source chain is also the final destination chain. Affected networks are those that allow for fee grant capabilities and use a native Relayer (e.g., Osmosis and Juno).
