How to fix?

Upgrade @n8n/computer-use to version 0.13.2, 0.14.1 or higher.

Overview

@n8n/computer-use is a Local AI gateway for n8n AI Assistant — filesystem, shell, screenshots, mouse/keyboard, and browser automation

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection via the Shell tool activation path in packages/@n8n/computer-use/src/tools/shell/index.ts. An attacker can execute unrestricted shell commands by using the computer-use agent on Linux or Windows, where the shell tool runs without filesystem or network confinement. This lets the attacker read and modify host files and access the network from the agent process, breaking the isolation users expect when enabling computer-use shell access.

Workarounds

  • Disable or avoid deploying the @n8n/computer-use package on Linux or Windows hosts until you can upgrade; this prevents the shell tool from running in the unconfined host environment on those platforms.
  • Restrict access to the n8n instance and the computer-use agent to fully trusted users only; this limits who can invoke the shell tool and reduces the chance of host filesystem or network access through the agent process.
