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 2.24.0, an authenticated user with permission
to create or modify workflows could achieve global prototype pollution via the Microsoft SQL node by
supplying a crafted value as the table parameter. This pollutes Object.prototype process-wide for the
lifetime of the n8n server process, causing application-wide validation failures and rendering the n8n
instance completely non-functional until restarted. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.24.0.
