Published by the GitHub Advisory Database at 7 May 2026, 00:24 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known.

## Affected packages

- `io.netty:netty-codec-redis` (Maven): affected `>=4.2.0.Alpha1, <4.2.13.Final || <4.1.133.Final`; fixed in `4.2.13.Final`, `4.1.133.Final`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Netty's io.netty:netty-codec-redis package, versions from 4.2.0.Alpha1 before 4.2.13.Final and versions before 4.1.133.Final, does not reject CRLF characters in inline command, simple string and error messages. A remote attacker who can control the content of those messages may inject extra Redis commands or forge responses, which the source says can lead to high confidentiality and integrity impact. Upgrade to 4.2.13.Final or 4.1.133.Final. No other workaround is listed.

## 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-rgrr-p7gp-5xj7>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
