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

## Affected packages

- `github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/v25` (Go): affected `<25.3.2`; fixed in `25.3.2`
- `github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/v24` (Go): affected `<=24.1.7`; no fixed version yet
- `github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph` (Go): affected `<=1.2.8`; no fixed version yet

## Machine-written summary

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

> Dgraph Alpha (github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/v25) before 25.3.2 exposes its process command line, including the configured admin token, through an unauthenticated /debug/pprof/cmdline endpoint. An attacker with network access to the Alpha HTTP port can read the token and reuse it to reach admin-only endpoints. Upgrade to 25.3.2. The github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/v24 (up to 24.1.7) and github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph (up to 1.2.8) packages are also affected, with no fixed version listed.

## 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-95mq-xwj4-r47p>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
