medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 447929

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, a Log Streaming
 event destination could reference a generic HTTP credential and decrypt whichever credential ID it named
 without an ownership check. A user with a custom global role carrying Log Streaming scopes could select a
 credential belonging to another project and send its decrypted secret to an attacker-controlled endpoint.
 The affected authorization boundary is packages/cli/src/modules/log-streaming.ee/destinations/destination-
 credentials-access.ts and the credential:read scope. This issue is fixed in versions 1.123.76, 2.37.7 and
 2.38.2. (CVE-2026-86993)

Solution

Update the n8n library and its related packages to version 1.123.76 or later.
