What this means

golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/agent: Invoking pathological inputs can lead to client panic affects golang.org/x/crypto (go), golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/agent (go). Severity is medium. For certain crafted inputs, a 'ed25519.PrivateKey' was created by casting malformed wire bytes, leading to a panic when used.

AI coding agents often install or upgrade packages automatically in go. A medium vulnerability in a dependency can be pulled into a project through a normal install or update without a human reviewing the change, expanding the blast radius from a single package to every agent workspace that depends on it.
