## Machine-written summary

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

> Undertow (io.undertow:undertow-core) versions before 2.2.38.Final, and from 2.3.0.Alpha1 before 2.3.20.Final, are affected. A remote client can send malformed HTTP/2 requests that cause repeated server-side stream resets without tripping abuse counters, forcing excessive server workload and a denial of service. Upgrade to 2.2.38.Final or 2.3.20.Final.

## 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-95h4-w6j8-2rp8>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
