Published by the GitHub Advisory Database at 28 May 2021, 19:15 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known.

## Affected packages

- `neutron` (PyPI): affected `<15.3.3 || >=16.0.0, <16.3.1 || >=17.0.0, <17.1.1`; fixed in `15.3.3`, `16.3.1`, `17.1.1`

## Machine-written summary

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

> The neutron package (OpenStack networking) is vulnerable in versions before 15.3.3, from 16.0.0 before 16.3.1, and from 17.0.0 before 17.1.1, specifically its default Open vSwitch firewall rules. An attacker who controls a server instance connected to the virtual switch can send crafted packets to impersonate IPv6 addresses of other systems, which may cause denial of service or, in some cases, interception of traffic meant for other destinations. Only deployments using the Open vSwitch driver are affected. Upgrade to 15.3.3, 16.3.1, or 17.1.1 depending on your release line.

## 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-w8hx-f868-pvch>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
