## Affected packages

- `msgpack5` (npm): affected `<6.1.0`; fixed in `6.1.0`

## Machine-written summary

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

> The npm package msgpack5 is vulnerable in versions before 6.1.0. Decoding a negative signed 64-bit integer changes the bytes of the caller's input buffer, and positive integers and other value types are not affected. An attacker is not described as needing any particular access; the risk is that applications that keep or reuse the encoded input may silently see corrupted data. Upgrade to msgpack5 6.1.0, which computes these values without writing to the input buffer, or copy input before decoding it.

## 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-qw35-55vc-rhgj>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
