CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability allows a crafted search pattern in the n8n automation tool to bypass directory confinement, enabling access to arbitrary local files that are readable by the daemon's OS user. This could lead to unauthorized exposure of sensitive information from the filesystem. Organizations using n8n versions prior to 2.31.5 and 2.32.x before 2.32.1, particularly those with user-controlled input for the file-search tool, should prioritize applying the necessary updates to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
n8n before 2.31.5 and 2.32.x before 2.32.1 contain a path-confinement bypass in the @n8n/computer-use file-search (search_files) tool. A crafted search pattern can bypass the base-directory confinement check and expand to locations outside the configured directory, causing the tool to return the names and contents of arbitrary local files readable by the daemon's OS user. Any deployment where an actor can influence the tool's search input is affected.
