Published by the GitHub Advisory Database at 22 Apr 2024, 15:56 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known.

## Affected packages

- `io.github.skylot:jadx-core` (Maven): affected `<1.5.0`; fixed in `1.5.0`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Versions of jadx-core before 1.5.0 (Maven io.github.skylot:jadx-core) can have files outside the output directory overwritten when a crafted APK is decompiled and saved. An attacker would need to supply an APK with a manipulated resource entry for a user to open in JADX and save, and the source describes overwriting files in the decompile output's parent directory. Upgrade to jadx-core 1.5.0 or later.

## 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-hvp5-5x4f-33fq>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
