SCA: security update for apm (GHSA-q5pp-gvjg-h7v4)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442088
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Microsoft APM is an open-source, community-driven dependency manager for AI agents. From 0.5.4 to 0.12.4,
two primitive integrators in apm-cli enumerate package files with bare Path.glob() / Path.rglob() calls
and read each match with Path.read_text(), transparently following symbolic links. A symlink committed
inside a remote APM dependency under .apm/prompts/<x>.prompt.md or .apm/agents/<x>.agent.md is preserved
verbatim into apm_modules/ on clone and then dereferenced during integration, with the resolved content
written as a regular file into the project's deploy directories. The package content_hash, the pre-deploy
SecurityGate scan, and apm audit do not flag this. The deploy roots are not added to the auto-generated
.gitignore, so the resulting files are staged by git add by default. This vulnerability is fixed in
0.13.0. (CVE-2026-45539)
Solution
Update the apm library and its related packages to version 0.13.0 or later.See Also
