## Affected packages

- `requests` (PyPI): affected `<2.32.4`; fixed in `2.32.4`

## Machine-written summary

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

> The requests package versions before 2.32.4 can leak .netrc credentials to third parties when a maliciously crafted URL is processed, due to a URL parsing issue. An attacker would need to get the application to request such a URL, and the impact is exposure of the stored credentials. Upgrade to requests 2.32.4 or later. For older versions, set trust_env to False on the Requests Session to stop it from using the .netrc file.

## 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-9hjg-9r4m-mvj7>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
