SCA: security update for n8n (GHSA-ggjm-f3g4-rwmm)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 435027

Description

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

 - n8n is a workflow automation platform. Before 1.106.0, a symlink traversal vulnerability was discovered in
 the Read/Write File node in n8n. While the node attempts to restrict access to sensitive directories and
 files, it does not properly account for symbolic links (symlinks). An attacker with the ability to create
 symlinks—such as by using the Execute Command node—could exploit this to bypass the intended directory
 restrictions and read from or write to otherwise inaccessible paths. Users of n8n.cloud are not impacted.
 Affected users should update to version 1.106.0 or later. (CVE-2025-57749)
