## Affected packages

- `tensorflow` (PyPI): affected `<2.5.3 || >=2.6.0, <2.6.3 || >=2.7.0, <2.7.1`; fixed in `2.5.3`, `2.6.3`, `2.7.1`
- `tensorflow-cpu` (PyPI): affected `<2.5.3 || >=2.6.0, <2.6.3 || >=2.7.0, <2.7.1`; fixed in `2.5.3`, `2.6.3`, `2.7.1`
- `tensorflow-gpu` (PyPI): affected `<2.5.3 || >=2.6.0, <2.6.3 || >=2.7.0, <2.7.1`; fixed in `2.5.3`, `2.6.3`, `2.7.1`

## Machine-written summary

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

> TensorFlow versions before 2.5.3, from 2.6.0 before 2.6.3, and from 2.7.0 before 2.7.1 (also tensorflow-cpu and tensorflow-gpu) can crash when shape inference fails to specialize a type. The source describes this as a crash rather than a broader compromise, and it gives few details on how an attacker would trigger it. Upgrade to 2.5.3, 2.6.3, 2.7.1 or later.

## 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-rww7-2gpw-fv6j>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
