## Critical

Critical, because:

- CVSS score 10.0: 9.0 or more.

How we decide what’s critical: <https://agentprime.io/advisories/critical.md>

## Affected packages

- `org.postgresql:postgresql` (Maven): affected `<42.2.28 || >=42.3.0, <42.3.9 || >=42.4.0, <42.4.4 || >=42.5.0, <42.5.5 || >=42.6.0, <42.6.1 || >=42.7.0, <42.7.2`; fixed in `42.2.28`, `42.3.9`, `42.4.4`, `42.5.5`, `42.6.1`, `42.7.2`

## Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

> The org.postgresql:postgresql Maven package is vulnerable to SQL injection in versions before 42.2.28, 42.3.0 through 42.3.8, 42.4.0 through 42.4.3, 42.5.0 through 42.5.4, 42.6.0, 42.7.0, and 42.7.1. Exploitation requires the non-default preferQueryMode=simple setting, a numeric placeholder preceded by a minus sign, and a later string placeholder, with both values user-controlled, allowing an attacker to alter the executed SQL. Upgrade to 42.2.28, 42.3.9, 42.4.4, 42.5.5, 42.6.1, or 42.7.2, or avoid preferQueryMode=simple.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-24rp-q3w6-vc56>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
