## Affected packages

- `fast-copy` (npm): affected `>=4.0.0, <4.1.0 || >=3.0.0, <3.1.0 || <2.2.0`; fixed in `4.1.0`, `3.1.0`, `2.2.0`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Versions of the fast-copy npm package before 2.2.0, from 3.0.0 before 3.1.0, and from 4.0.0 before 4.1.0 are affected. Copying a deeply nested value makes the library's recursive traversal exhaust the call stack, which throws a RangeError; the source says there is no memory corruption or data exposure, and the failure is limited to the failing call. The source gives the fix as upgrading to 2.2.0, 3.1.0, or 4.1.0, which add a maxDepth option (default 1000) that raises a MaxDepthExceededError instead.

## 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-jggr-w7fw-pc2j>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
