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 1.123.76, 2.37.7, and 2.38.2, the
 Elasticsearch and ElasticSecurity nodes interpolated workflow-controlled index and document identifiers
 directly into REST request paths. An identifier containing path separators or dot segments could select
