## Affected packages

- `skillctl` (crates.io): affected `<0.1.3`; fixed in `0.1.3`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Package skillctl, versions before 0.1.3, contains five flaws, including argument injection through a committed config file, path traversal in the --dest option of add, and hardlink-based file exfiltration. An attacker who can get a crafted .skills.toml file or skill content into a project, or control flag values in agent-driven runs, can corrupt sync decisions, wipe arbitrary directories, forge commit trailers, or read local files into a library. Upgrade to skillctl 0.1.3, which validates these inputs.

## 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-74p7-6h78-gw8p>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
