The CVE does not affect Boost. The Axios module is only used to generate HTML files during preparation of the release tarball, and is not used during the RPM build and is not part of the installed RPMs.

I checked this with upstream and was told "The npm packages are only required at doc build time, so it makes
sense to not include them in the release tarball."
https://lists.boost.org/archives/list/boost@lists.boost.org/thread/APKJIASXU2DLQMGYIQR4JOMJE5CB56KB/

The Boost 1.92.0 release will not include those files in the release tarball at all, due to https://github.com/boostorg/release-tools/pull/111 which was already changed in March. That PR says "Remove "doc/node_modules" from libraries after the build. Since that directory adds extra MBs, and isn't needed."
