## Critical

Critical, because:

- CVSS score 9.9: 9.0 or more.

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

## Affected packages

- `github.com/kcp-dev/kcp` (Go): affected `<0.31.4 || >=0.32.0, <0.32.2`; fixed in `0.31.4`, `0.32.2`

## Machine-written summary

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

> The kcp front-proxy in github.com/kcp-dev/kcp versions before 0.31.4, and from 0.32.0 before 0.32.2, does not strip client-supplied X-Remote-\* identity headers before forwarding requests to shards. An authenticated client can therefore inject group and extra identity values that shards trust, which can lead to system:masters access and cross-workspace read, write, and delete of resources. Upgrade to 0.31.4 or 0.32.2. Until then, an external proxy that removes X-Remote-\* headers from inbound requests can reduce exposure.

## 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-c8w2-fgvx-vhv4>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
