Published by the GitHub Advisory Database at 28 Sept 2026, 20:17 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known.

## Affected packages

- `com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind` (Maven): affected `>=2.0.0, <2.18.9 || >=2.19.0, <2.21.5 || >=2.22.0, <2.22.1`; fixed in `2.18.9`, `2.21.5`, `2.22.1`
- `tools.jackson.core:jackson-databind` (Maven): affected `>=3.0.0, <3.1.5 || >=3.2.0, <3.2.1`; fixed in `3.1.5`, `3.2.1`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Jackson-databind versions 2.0.0 up to 2.18.9, 2.19.0 up to 2.21.5, and 2.22.0 up to 2.22.1, plus tools.jackson.core:jackson-databind 3.0.0 up to 3.1.5 and 3.2.0 up to 3.2.1, are affected. When deserializing into an InetAddress, the library performs a forward DNS lookup on attacker-supplied input, which lets an attacker who can influence the JSON trigger out-of-band DNS requests and probe whether internal hostnames resolve. Upgrade to 2.18.9, 2.21.5, 2.22.1, 3.1.5, or 3.2.1 as applicable; the source does not describe a workaround.

## 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-vvgp-rfg2-7rr6>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
