## Machine-written summary

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

> MPXJ versions 7.3.0 up to 16.5.0 (including the NuGet, RubyGems, PyPI and Maven packages of the same name) can write files to arbitrary locations when reading a specially crafted Primavera P3 PRX or SureTrak STX file. An attacker would need to supply such a file for the application to read, so the risk comes from opening files from untrusted sources. Upgrade to version 16.5.0 or later; until then, do not read PRX or STX files from untrusted sources.

## 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-7952-gx68-cjqr>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
