SCA: security update for n8n (GHSA-qpq4-pw7f-pp8w)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437559

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 versions 1.123.9 and 2.2.1, a Cross-Site
Scripting (XSS) vulnerability existed in a markdown rendering component used in n8n's interface, including
workflow sticky notes and other areas that support markdown content. An authenticated user with permission
to create or modify workflows could abuse this to execute scripts with same-origin privileges when other
users interact with a maliciously crafted workflow. This could lead to session hijacking and account
takeover. This issue has been patched in versions 1.123.9 and 2.2.1. (CVE-2026-25054)
