## Affected packages

- `github.com/iskorotkov/avro/v2` (Go): affected `<2.33.0`; fixed in `2.33.0`

## Machine-written summary

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

> github.com/iskorotkov/avro/v2 before 2.33.0 lets an attacker who supplies untrusted Avro input with a huge map exhaust process memory, causing denial of service. Upgrade to 2.33.0 and set Config.MaxMapAllocSize to a non-zero value, because the limit is off by default.

## 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-mx64-mj3q-7prj>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
