SCA: security update for n8n (GHSA-fpg6-x68q-5793)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 445148

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - n8n before 2.29.8 and 2.30.x before 2.30.1 does not enforce shell sandbox restrictions on Linux and
 Windows in the @n8n/computer-use package (sandboxing was applied only on macOS). Shell commands executed
 by the tool run without any filesystem or network restrictions, allowing unrestricted access to the host
 filesystem and network from within the computer-use agent process. This issue only affects deployments
 where the @n8n/computer-use package is explicitly installed and running; standard n8n installations are
 not affected. (CVE-2026-65590)

Solution

Update the n8n library and its related packages to version 2.29.8 or later.
