medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 447950

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 2.37.7 and 2.38.2, the
 /rest/roles/:slug/assignments and /rest/roles/:slug/assignments/:projectId/members endpoints checked only
 whether the caller could manage the role type. A caller with role:manageProject could name a project the
 caller could not list and obtain member names and email addresses. The affected controller is
 packages/cli/src/controllers/role.controller.ts, which omitted the project:list scope check. This issue is
 fixed in versions 2.37.7 and 2.38.2. (CVE-2026-86085)

Solution

Update the n8n library and its related packages to version 2.37.7 or later.
