## Affected packages

- `org.apache.hive:hive-jdbc` (Maven): affected `>=4.0.0-alpha-1, <4.0.0`; fixed in `4.0.0`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Apache Hive's hive-jdbc package, versions 4.0.0-alpha-1 up to but not including 4.0.0, is vulnerable to code injection. An attacker who can specify or edit the JDBC URL used by a client, and who controls an HTTP server that the client connects to, can cause commands to run on the machine hosting the JDBC client, especially if that process runs as a privileged user. Upgrade to hive-jdbc 4.0.0, 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-vpw3-3prf-3974>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
