SCA: security update for n8n (GHSA-hp3c-vfpm-q4f7)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 441002

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 1.123.32, 2.17.4, and 2.18.1, the
 fix for GHSA-f3f2-mcxc-pwjx did not cover the Snowflake node or the legacy MySQL v1 node. Both nodes
 construct SQL queries by directly interpolating user-controlled table names, column names, and update keys
 into query strings without identifier escaping, enabling SQL injection against the connected database.
 This issue has been patched in versions 1.123.32, 2.17.4, and 2.18.1. (CVE-2026-42237)

Solution

Update the n8n library and its related packages to version 1.123.32 or later.
