## Affected packages

- `github.com/tinfoil-factory/netfoil` (Go): affected `<0.4.0`; fixed in `0.4.0`

## Machine-written summary

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

> netfoil, a Go package, is vulnerable in versions before 0.4.0. Blocked DNS queries received a 0.0.0.0 answer instead of NXDOMAIN, so on Linux the traffic meant for a blocked destination was sent to localhost rather than dropped. The impact depends on which services are running locally and on firewall rules; the source gives few other details. Upgrade to version 0.4.0 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-xvg2-cgv6-6h7v>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
