SCA: security update for n8n (GHSA-f6x8-65q6-j9m9)
medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441001
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 versions 1.123.32, 2.17.4, and 2.18.1, the
/mcp-oauth/register endpoint accepted OAuth client registrations without authentication, allowing
arbitrary redirect_uri values to be registered. When a user denies the MCP OAuth consent dialog, the
handleDeny handler redirects the user to the registered redirect_uri without validation, enabling an open
redirect to an attacker-controlled URL. An attacker can craft a phishing link and send it to a victim; if
the victim clicks "Deny" on the consent page, they are silently redirected to an external site. This issue
has been patched in versions 1.123.32, 2.17.4, and 2.18.1. (CVE-2026-42230)
Solution
Update the n8n library and its related packages to version 1.123.32 or later.See Also
