Published by the GitHub Advisory Database at 26 Jun 2024, 19:26 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known.

## Affected packages

- `golang.org/x/image` (Go): affected `<0.18.0`; fixed in `0.18.0`

## Machine-written summary

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

> golang.org/x/image versions before 0.18.0 are affected. A corrupt or malicious image with invalid color indices can cause a panic when parsed, so an attacker who can supply an image for the program to parse can crash it. The source gives few details beyond this. Upgrade to golang.org/x/image 0.18.0 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-9phm-fm57-rhg8>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
