high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 441871

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, an attacker
with write access to the git repository connected to an n8n Source Control configuration could commit a
malicious Data Table JSON file containing a crafted column name. When an administrator performed a Source
Control Pull, n8n imported the file and could lead to SQL injection on the internal PostgreSQL instance.
Exploitation requires the n8n instance uses PostgreSQL as its database backend, the Source Control feature
is enabled and connected to a repository the attacker can write to, and an administrator triggers a Source
Control Pull. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.123.43, 2.22.1, and 2.20.7. (CVE-2026-44792)

Solution

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