## Affected packages

- `gix-path` (crates.io): affected `>=0.0.0-0, <0.10.10`; fixed in `0.10.10`

## Machine-written summary

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

> GHSA-v26r-4c9c-h3j6: gix-path versions before 0.10.10 treat a local repository's git configuration as system-wide when no higher-scope configuration is present. An attacker who can get a user to run gix from inside one repository while operating on another, or who arranges for higher-scope configuration to be absent, could cause that repository's settings, including credentials, to be applied to a different repository's remote. Upgrade gix-path to 0.10.10 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-v26r-4c9c-h3j6>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
