## Affected packages

- `org.http4s:http4s-client_2.12` (Maven): affected `<0.23.35`; fixed in `0.23.35`
- `org.http4s:http4s-client_2.13` (Maven): affected `<0.23.35 || >=1.0.0-M1, <1.0.0-M47`; fixed in `0.23.35`, `1.0.0-M47`
- `org.http4s:http4s-client_3` (Maven): affected `>=1.0.0-M1, <1.0.0-M47 || <0.23.35`; fixed in `1.0.0-M47`, `0.23.35`

## Machine-written summary

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

> The http4s-client package is affected in several version ranges: below 0.23.35 for the 2.12 and 2.13 builds, 1.0.0-M1 up to 1.0.0-M47 for the 2.13 and 3 builds, and below 0.23.35 for the 3 build. The CookieJar client middleware accepts a Domain attribute from a server's Set-Cookie header without checking that it matches the sending host. A malicious or compromised server can plant cookies for other domains in the same jar, enabling session fixation or overwriting of security-relevant cookies. Upgrade to 0.23.35 or 1.0.0-M47. Avoid sharing one CookieJar between trusted and untrusted servers.

## 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-wv64-j4fq-5f9x>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
