## Critical

Critical, because:

- CVSS score 9.1: 9.0 or more.

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

## Affected packages

- `stigmem-node` (PyPI): affected `<0.9.0a2`; fixed in `0.9.0a2`

## Machine-written summary

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

> stigmem-node versions before 0.9.0a2 accept federation peer key material during registration without a separate administrator approval step based on an out-of-band fingerprint check. An attacker who can intercept or misdirect initial peer registration on the network could have a peer accepted. Upgrade to stigmem-node 0.9.0a2, which requires administrator approval using the expected fingerprint before peer tokens are accepted; until then, restrict peer registration endpoints to trusted administrative networks.

## 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-9vp8-3hmv-8fgh>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
