chore(deps): update dependency werkzeug to v3.1.9 [security] - #768

Details

Werkzeug's safe_join function allows Windows device names as filenames when they have an empty ADS marker on NTFS.

This was previously reported as GHSA-hgf8-39gv-g3f2, but the added filtering failed to account for the fact Windows allows special device names with an empty ADS marker, such as NUL:.

send_from_directory uses safe_join to safely serve files at user-specified paths under a directory. If the application is running on Windows and NTFS, and the requested path ends with a special device name, the file will be opened successfully, but reading will hang indefinitely.
