## Affected packages

- `bokeh` (PyPI): affected `<3.8.2`; fixed in `3.8.2`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Bokeh server applications, in the bokeh package before 3.8.2, have incomplete origin validation for WebSocket connections. An attacker who lures a victim to a malicious site can hijack a WebSocket connection to a deployed Bokeh server whose allowlist they can match by prefix, then interact with the server as the victim. Upgrade to bokeh 3.8.2 or later. The source lists no workarounds.

Written 5 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-793v-589g-574v>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
