## Affected packages

- `com.vaadin:flow-server` (Maven): affected `<14.14.1 || >=23.0.0, <23.6.7 || >=24.0.0, <24.9.8 || >=25.0.0, <25.0.2`; fixed in `14.14.1`, `23.6.7`, `24.9.8`, `25.0.2`
- `com.vaadin:vaadin` (Maven): affected `>=25.0.0, <25.0.2 || >=24.0.0, <24.9.8 || >=23.0.0, <23.6.7 || <14.14.1`; fixed in `25.0.2`, `24.9.8`, `23.6.7`, `14.14.1`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Vaadin (com.vaadin:flow-server and com.vaadin:vaadin) versions 14.0.0 through 14.14.0, 23.0.0 through 23.6.6, 24.0.0 through 24.9.7, and 25.0.0 through 25.0.1 are affected when used with Spring Security. Requesting the /VAADIN endpoint without a trailing slash bypasses security filters, so an unauthenticated user can trigger framework initialization and create sessions. Upgrade to 14.14.1, 23.6.7, 24.9.8, 25.0.2 or newer, depending on your release line; versions 10-13 and 15-22 are no longer supported.

## 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-rjgh-wgc7-m37j>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
