## Affected packages

- `github.com/opencontainers/runc` (Go): affected `<1.0.0-rc9.0.20200122160610-2fc03cc11c77`; fixed in `1.0.0-rc9.0.20200122160610-2fc03cc11c77`

## Machine-written summary

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

> The Go package github.com/opencontainers/runc is vulnerable before version 1.0.0-rc9.0.20200122160610-2fc03cc11c77, and the fixed version is the same as that value. An attacker who controls a malicious root filesystem and can create containers with custom mounts sharing a volume with another running container could cause runc to misconfigure security labels and fail to mask sensitive /proc paths. Upgrade runc to the fixed version; the advisory notes the fix is a hot-fix with known workarounds, so review which users can configure container mounts.

## 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-fh74-hm69-rqjw>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
