Fix the class in your product

The advisory is not for a bug you wrote; it is in a component you embed. As the maker, pin dependencies to fixed versions, generate an SBOM on every build including transitive components, and gate the pipeline on known-vulnerable components so an advisory maps to your products automatically.

Pin and inventory. Exact versions, and a CycloneDX or SPDX SBOM as a build artifact including transitive deps.
Gate on advisories. A CI scan fails a release carrying a component with a known advisory.
Own the field patch path. Know how you deliver a dependency or platform patch to fielded devices before you need it.
