## Machine-written summary

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

> The Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime packages for linux, linux-musl, osx and win platforms (including arm, arm64, x64 and x86 variants) are affected in .NET 8.0 versions from 8.0.0 through 8.0.20 and .NET 9.0 versions from 9.0.0 through 9.0.9. A man-in-the-middle attacker can prevent TLS from being used between a client and an SMTP server, forcing the client to send data unencrypted. Upgrade to 8.0.21 or 9.0.10; no workaround is listed.

## 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-gwq6-fmvp-qp68>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
