high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437526

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 1.123.2, a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
vulnerability has been identified in the handling of webhook responses and related HTTP endpoints. Under
certain conditions, the Content Security Policy (CSP) sandbox protection intended to isolate HTML
responses may not be applied correctly. An authenticated user with permission to create or modify
workflows could abuse this to execute malicious scripts with same-origin privileges when other users
interact with the crafted workflow. This could lead to session hijacking and account takeover. This issue
has been patched in version 1.123.2. (CVE-2026-25051)
