SCA: security update for n8n (GHSA-98c2-4cr3-4jc3)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 439268

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 2.14.1, 2.13.3, and 1.123.26, an
 authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows could exploit a SQL injection
 vulnerability in the Data Table Get node. On default SQLite DB, single statements can be manipulated and
 the attack surface is practically limited. On PostgreSQL deployments, multi-statement execution is
 possible, enabling data modification and deletion. The issue has been fixed in n8n versions 1.123.26,
 2.13.3, and 2.14.1. Users should upgrade to one of these versions or later to remediate the vulnerability.
 If upgrading is not immediately possible, administrators should consider the following temporary
 mitigations: Limit workflow creation and editing permissions to fully trusted users only, disable the Data
 Table node by adding `n8n-nodes-base.dataTable` to the `NODES_EXCLUDE` environment variable, and/or review
 existing workflows for Data Table Get nodes where `orderByColumn` is set to an expression that
 incorporates external or user-supplied input. These workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should
 only be used as short-term mitigation measures. (CVE-2026-33713)

Solution

Update the n8n library and its related packages to version 1.123.26 or later.
