## Affected packages

- `github.com/traefik/traefik/v3` (Go): affected `>=3.6.11, <3.7.13`; fixed in `3.7.13`
- `github.com/traefik/traefik` (Go): affected `all versions`; no fixed version yet

## Machine-written summary

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

> Traefik versions 3.6.11 up to but not including 3.7.13 are affected. The BasicAuth middleware's singleflight key depends on whether a username exists, so an attacker who can send concurrent requests can enumerate valid usernames by timing responses, without credentials. The source gives no credential disclosure or authentication bypass. Upgrade to Traefik 3.7.13, which fixes the issue; v3.6 is end of life.

## 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-8fcf-v89g-xpg6>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
