## Affected packages

- `io.projectreactor.netty:reactor-netty-http` (Maven): affected `>=1.3.0-M1, <1.3.0-M5 || <1.2.8`; fixed in `1.3.0-M5`, `1.2.8`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Reactor Netty HTTP (io.projectreactor.netty:reactor-netty-http) versions 1.3.0-M1 to before 1.3.0-M5, and versions before 1.2.8, can leak credentials during certain chained redirects. An attacker must be able to cause a redirect chain, and this only affects clients explicitly configured to follow redirects. Upgrade to 1.3.0-M5 or 1.2.8, or later.

## 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-4q2v-9p7v-3v22>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
