Security Recommendations for n8n-hub

Harden command execution

n8n-hub constructs or runs system commands. Validate that commands are built only from trusted inputs, never pass user-controlled strings directly to a shell, and restrict execution to an allow-list of expected commands.

Resolve policy violations

n8n-hub trips ClawSecure policy checks. Review each flagged pattern against your security policy and remediate or document an accepted exception before production use.

Add a config.json permissions manifest

A config.json file declares what an agent component can access: file system, network, shell execution and more. Without it, users have no visibility into what the component can do before installing. This is the single most impactful security improvement for any AI agent skill.

Pin dependencies to exact versions

Unpinned dependencies allow supply-chain attacks where a compromised version is pulled in automatically. Use exact version numbers in package.json (for example 1.2.3 instead of ^1.2.3) to keep unauthorized code out of your dependency tree. ClawSecure checks every dependency against known CVE databases.
