Published by the GitHub Advisory Database at 30 Oct 2026, 12:00 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known.

## Affected packages

- `orion` (crates.io): affected `>=0.0.0-0, <0.17.16 || >=0.18.0-0, <0.18.1`; fixed in `0.17.16`, `0.18.1`

## Machine-written summary

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

> The orion crate's BLAKE2b MAC implementation is affected in versions before 0.17.16 and from 0.18.0 up to 0.18.1. Calling reset() with a key of a different length than the one used at initialization produces an incorrect tag, so verification can fail even between honest parties; no attacker action is described. Upgrade to orion 0.17.16 or 0.18.1.

## 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-xcc6-f2jq-43x6>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
