SCA: security update for n8n (GHSA-6h4j-wcr9-2vg7)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 441869

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 1.123.43, 2.22.1, and 2.20.7, the OAuth1 and
OAuth2 credential reconnect endpoints authorized access using credential:read rather than
credential:update. An authenticated user with read-only access to a shared credential could initiate an
OAuth reconnect flow and overwrite the stored token material for that credential with tokens bound to an
external account they control. Workflows relying on the affected credential would subsequently execute
under the attacker's OAuth identity, enabling data exfiltration to attacker-controlled external services
and persistent takeover of shared integrations. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.123.43, 2.22.1, and
2.20.7. (CVE-2026-45732)

Solution

Update the n8n library and its related packages to version 1.123.43 or later.
