Published by the GitHub Advisory Database at 14 Jul 2026, 19:46 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known.

## Affected packages

- `github.com/almeidapaulopt/tsdproxy` (Go): affected `all versions`; no fixed version yet

## Machine-written summary

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

> Versions of github.com/almeidapaulopt/tsdproxy are affected, and no fixed version is listed. The proxy does not remove incoming X-Forwarded-For or X-Real-IP headers before forwarding requests to backend services, so an authenticated Tailscale user can set these headers to arbitrary values. A user with regular access could then bypass IP-based restrictions, rate limits, or audit logging on backends that trust those headers. No workaround is given in the source.

## 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-pqg7-v6wh-3pfp>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
