Advisory record · `GHSA-mghf-wjfp-p5xm`

- **Identifiers:** `GHSA-mghf-wjfp-p5xm` · `CVE-2026-115893` · `RUSTSEC-2026-0379`
- **State:** Confirmed
- **Severity:** CVSS 9.9 Critical
- **Critical:** Yes: CVSS 9+
- **Weakness (CWE):** [CWE-691](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/691.html)

Published by the GitHub Advisory Database at 28 Oct 2026, 21:14 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known.

## 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

- `wasmtime` (crates.io): affected `<36.0.19 || >=37.0.0, <48.0.7 || >=49.0.0, <49.0.4`; fixed in `36.0.19`, `48.0.7`, `49.0.4`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Wasmtime, when built with the Cranelift backend on aarch64, is affected in versions before 36.0.19, from 37.0.0 before 48.0.7, and from 49.0.0 before 49.0.4. A Wasm module containing a single br_table instruction with more than about 256k targets can be compiled into an incorrect branch target, so a malicious module can redirect execution to other code and escape the sandbox. Users should upgrade to 36.0.19, 48.0.7, or 49.0.4, depending on their release line.

## 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-mghf-wjfp-p5xm>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
