## Machine-written summary

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

> Blaze-http (Maven org.http4s:blaze-http_2.13, \_2.12 and \_3) is affected in versions before 0.23.18 and from 1.0.0-M1 up to 1.0.0-M42, where blaze-server can copy HTTP/1.1 chunked-body trailer fields into request headers. An unauthenticated remote client can use this to add arbitrary headers, such as X-Forwarded-For or internal-auth headers, that a fronting proxy had removed, which can bypass header-based trust decisions in the application. Upgrade to 0.23.18 or 1.0.0-M42. If upgrading is not possible, deploy behind a proxy that strips trailer fields or rejects requests that use them.

## 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-46q4-43ph-c6fr>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
