## Machine-written summary

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

> Symfony's routing component (symfony/routing and symfony/symfony) before 5.4.52, 6.4.40, 7.4.12 and 8.0.12 is affected. The UrlGenerator anchors only the first and last alternatives of a route requirement regex, so a value containing a middle alternative can pass validation and produce a protocol-relative "//host" URL that leads off-site. The source does not state what an attacker needs beyond supplying such a value, nor the full impact. Upgrade to 5.4.52, 6.4.40, 7.4.12, 8.0.12 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-72xp-p242-47p9>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
