## Machine-written summary

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

> Contao's contao/core-bundle package, versions 5.7.0 up to but not including 5.7.12, has an improper access control flaw in the table access voter that governs backend Data Container table permissions. A low-privileged backend user can, after a table they are allowed to access has been checked in the same request, gain read, create, update and delete access to other tables outside their module permissions, including tables holding member records and newsletter subscriber e-mail addresses. Upgrade contao/core-bundle to 5.7.12 or later, which is the fixed version.

## 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-5974-gfqc-wrcm>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
