Published by the GitHub Advisory Database at 8 Sept 2026, 18:09 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known.

## Affected packages

- `prowler` (PyPI): affected `<5.37.0`; fixed in `5.37.0`
- `prowler-cloud` (PyPI): affected `<5.37.0`; fixed in `5.37.0`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Prowler and prowler-cloud (PyPI) versions before 5.37.0 are affected by stored cross-site scripting in HTML reports: resource tag values are inserted into the generated report without HTML escaping. An attacker who can create or edit a tag on a cloud resource in a scanned account can store script that runs when another user opens the HTML report. Upgrade to version 5.37.0 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-c2jg-2778-ggm4>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
