## Affected packages

- `github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/v2` (Go): affected `<2.63.6`; fixed in `2.63.6`
- `github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser` (Go): affected `<=1.11.0`; no fixed version yet

## Machine-written summary

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

> Summary of the record's input: File Browser (github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/v2) versions before 2.63.6 are affected, and the fix is in 2.63.6. The legacy module github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser at version 1.11.0 and earlier is also affected, with no fixed version listed. An attacker who can reach the login API can send a very large password, which drives CPU and memory use high enough to crash or stall the service. Upgrade github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/v2 to 2.63.6 or later. No fix is listed for github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser, and the source gives few details on workarounds.

## 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-w5fm-68j4-fpc4>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
