## Affected packages

- `pagekit/pagekit` (Packagist): affected `<1.0.11`; fixed in `1.0.11`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Pagekit CMS versions before 1.0.11 are affected. A remote attacker can reset a registered user's password when the debug toolbar is enabled, and the source says the password can then be recovered. The source gives few details about the exact method. Upgrade pagekit/pagekit to version 1.0.11 or later, or disable the debug toolbar as an interim measure.

## 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-rp89-32rp-qpq2>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
