## Affected packages

- `github.com/xtls/xray-core` (Go): affected `>=1.260113.0, <1.260327.1-0.20260710210335-64fada32b5b9`; fixed in `1.260327.1-0.20260710210335-64fada32b5b9`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Xray-core versions from 1.260113.0 up to but not including 1.260327.1-0.20260710210335-64fada32b5b9 are affected. When a CA certificate is pinned via pinnedPeerCertSha256 and no server name is set, certificate hostname checks can be skipped in some transports (hysteria and grpc, where the server address is an IP address). An attacker who holds a certificate issued by the pinned CA for their own domain or IP address could intercept connections. Upgrade to 1.260327.1-0.20260710210335-64fada32b5b9 or later. The source gives no workaround beyond setting an explicit serverName.

## 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-5wf9-h793-w73c>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
