## Affected packages

- `org.apache.zeppelin:zeppelin-interpreter` (Maven): affected `>=0.8.2, <0.11.1`; fixed in `0.11.1`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Apache Zeppelin (org.apache.zeppelin:zeppelin-interpreter) versions from 0.8.2 before 0.11.1 are vulnerable to cross-site scripting in the helium module, due to improper encoding or escaping of output. The source does not say what access an attacker needs to modify helium.json, but a successful attack can run scripts in the browsers of normal users. Upgrade to Apache Zeppelin 0.11.1, which fixes the issue.

## 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-rrvf-5w4r-3x7v>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
