## Affected packages

- `aiohttp` (PyPI): affected `<3.14.3`; fixed in `3.14.3`

## Machine-written summary

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

> The aiohttp package, versions before 3.14.3, is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds heap read in its C HTTP response parser while it builds an error message for a malformed response. An attacker-controlled server, or possibly an accidental malformed response, could cause a denial of service in the client. Upgrade to aiohttp 3.14.3 or later. If you cannot upgrade, set the environment variable AIOHTTP_NO_EXTENSIONS=1 to use the Python parser, which the source says is unaffected.

## 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-cq5v-8q36-5273>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
