## Affected packages

- `io.quarkus:quarkus-vertx-http` (Maven): affected `<3.20.6.1 || >=3.21.0, <3.27.3.1 || >=3.30.0, <3.33.1.1 || >=3.34.0, <3.35.1.1`; fixed in `3.20.6.1`, `3.27.3.1`, `3.33.1.1`, `3.35.1.1`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Quarkus (io.quarkus:quarkus-vertx-http) versions before 3.20.6.1, from 3.21.0 before 3.27.3.1, from 3.30.0 before 3.33.1.1, and from 3.34.0 before 3.35.1.1 are affected. An unauthenticated or lower-privileged user can bypass HTTP path-based authorization by appending a semicolon and arbitrary text to a request URL, which can reach protected endpoints. Upgrade to 3.20.6.1, 3.27.3.1, 3.33.1.1, or 3.35.1.1, matching your 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-rc95-pcm8-65v9>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
