high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437525

Description

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

- n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. From version 1.65.0 to before 1.114.3, the use of
Buffer.allocUnsafe() and Buffer.allocUnsafeSlow() in the task runner allowed untrusted code to allocate
uninitialized memory. Such uninitialized buffers could contain residual data from within the same Node.js
process (for example, data from prior requests, tasks, secrets, or tokens), resulting in potential
information disclosure. This issue has been patched in version 1.114.3. (CVE-2025-61917)
