## Affected packages

- `httpsoft/http-message` (Packagist): affected `<1.0.12`; fixed in `1.0.12`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Versions of httpsoft/http-message before 1.0.12 do not properly validate HTTP header names and values, allowing newline characters to be inserted into them. The source describes this as potentially letting an attacker end the header list early in servers that accept a bare double newline as a terminator, though it gives few details about the exact conditions or impact. Upgrade httpsoft/http-message to version 1.0.12 or later; no workarounds are 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-9jxr-mwpp-w643>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
