## Critical

Critical, because:

- CVSS score 9.4: 9.0 or more.

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

## Affected packages

- `org.openidentityplatform.opendj:opendj-dsml-servlet` (Maven): affected `<5.1.2`; fixed in `5.1.2`

## Machine-written summary

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

> OpenDJ's opendj-dsml-servlet component (Maven opendj-dsml-servlet from org.openidentityplatform.opendj) is vulnerable in versions before 5.1.2. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a DSMLv2 request containing a URI value, which the server fetches, allowing server-side request forgery to internal services, reading local files, and memory exhaustion through unbounded reads. Upgrade to version 5.1.2, which disables URI dereferencing by default and requires authentication for the gateway.

Written 2 Nov 2026.

## 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-68r5-9hpg-7qw9>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
