Published by the GitHub Advisory Database at 5 Jul 2026, 12:00 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known.

## Affected packages

- `fulgur` (crates.io): affected `>=0.0.0-0, <0.26.0`; fixed in `0.26.0`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Versions of fulgur before 0.26.0 are vulnerable to denial of service. A childless box with a very large height, such as an unresolved image, a hidden image, an undecodable image, or an empty svg element, can expand into up to about 10,000 blank PDF pages, exhausting CPU and memory. An attacker who can submit HTML to a fulgur-based conversion service can trigger this with a very small input. Upgrade to fulgur 0.26.0 or later.

## 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-4rf6-qx84-q9fv>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
