SCA: security update for n8n (GHSA-g3r5-9h93-4j2c)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 445125

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- n8n before 1.123.64, 2.29.8, and 2.30.1 contains a TOCTOU race condition in the Git node's clone operation
that allows authenticated users to bypass path restrictions by swapping a directory for a symlink after
the path is validated but before the clone runs. This lets an attacker plant a crafted repository in the
community node directory, which n8n loads as a custom node on the next restart, executing arbitrary
JavaScript on the server. Both self-hosted and cloud instances are affected. (CVE-2026-65598)

Solution

Update the n8n library and its related packages to version 1.123.64 or later.
