## Affected packages

- `golang.org/x/crypto` (Go): affected `<0.52.0`; fixed in `0.52.0`

## Machine-written summary

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

> golang.org/x/crypto versions before 0.52.0 are affected. When an SSH server's authentication callback returned PartialSuccessError with non-nil Permissions, those permissions were silently discarded, which could drop certificate restrictions such as force-command after a second factor succeeded. The source does not describe the attacker's required access. Upgrade to version 0.52.0 or later, where returning non-nil Permissions with PartialSuccessError now causes a connection error.

## 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-45gg-vh54-h5m9>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
