## Affected packages

- `github.com/osrg/gobgp/v4` (Go): affected `<4.7.0`; fixed in `4.7.0`

## Machine-written summary

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

> GoBGP versions before 4.7.0 (Go module github.com/osrg/gobgp/v4) panic when they receive a BGP UPDATE with a zero-length AS_PATH attribute while validating a confederation eBGP peer. A configured confederation eBGP neighbor can establish a session and send such an UPDATE, causing a denial of service of the peer session and possibly process termination. Upgrade to version 4.7.0 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-frrj-87jh-2772>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
