SCA: security update for n8n (GHSA-wpqc-h9wp-chmq)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 436307

Description

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

- n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Versions 0.123.1 through 1.119.1 do not have adequate
protections to prevent RCE through the project's pre-commit hooks. The Add Config operation allows
workflows to set arbitrary Git configuration values, including core.hooksPath, which can point to a
malicious Git hook that executes arbitrary commands on the n8n host during subsequent Git operations.
Exploitation requires the ability to create or modify an n8n workflow using the Git node. This issue is
fixed in version 1.119.2. Workarounds include excluding the Git Node (Docs) and avoiding cloning or
interacting with untrusted repositories using the Git Node. (CVE-2025-65964)
