SCA: security update for n8n (GHSA-58jc-rcg5-95f3)
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 436490
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to version 1.114.0, a stored Cross-Site
Scripting (XSS) vulnerability may occur in n8n when using the “Respond to Webhook” node. When this node
responds with HTML content containing executable scripts, the payload may execute directly in the top-
level window, rather than within the expected sandbox introduced in version 1.103.0. This behavior can
enable a malicious actor with workflow creation permissions to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context
of the n8n editor interface. This issue has been patched in version 1.114.0. Workarounds for this issue
involve restricting workflow creation and modification privileges to trusted users only, avoiding use of
untrusted HTML responses in the “Respond to Webhook” node, and using an external reverse proxy or HTML
sanitizer to filter responses that include executable scripts. (CVE-2025-61914)
