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
 /rest/active-workflows endpoint returned every active workflow ID on the instance to any member regardless
 of sharing. Workflow activation, deactivation, and publication push events were also broadcast to clients
 that could not access the affected workflow, disclosing workflow IDs, version IDs, and activation error
 details. The affected paths include packages/cli/src/services/active-workflows.service.ts and
 packages/cli/src/workflows/workflow-push-notifier.service.ts. This issue is fixed in versions 1.123.76,
 2.37.7 and 2.38.2. (CVE-2026-86994)
