- **State:** Confirmed
- **Severity:** CVSS 8.8 High
- **Critical:** Yes: CVSS 7+ and EPSS
- **Weakness (CWE):** [CWE-284](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/284.html) · [CWE-863](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/863.html)

Published by the GitHub Advisory Database at 7 Feb 2024, 18:23 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known.

## Critical

Critical, because:

- CVSS score 8.8 (7.0 or more) and EPSS 0.35 (0.1 or more): a high score and a real chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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

## Affected packages

- `org.graylog2:graylog2-server` (Maven): affected `>=2.0.0, <5.1.11 || >=5.2.0-alpha.1, <5.2.4`; fixed in `5.1.11`, `5.2.4`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Graylog (org.graylog2:graylog2-server) versions from 2.0.0 before 5.1.11, and 5.2.0-alpha.1 before 5.2.4, are affected. An attacker with an account holding the clusterconfigentry:create and clusterconfigentry:edit permissions, which are usually granted only to Admin users, can send a crafted HTTP PUT request to the cluster config API to load and instantiate arbitrary classes, potentially running code or exposing file contents. Upgrade to version 5.1.11 or 5.2.4.

## 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-p6gg-5hf4-4rgj>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
