SCA: security update for n8n (GHSA-5xp3-2w67-427v)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 443269

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 1.123.48, 2.21.8, and 2.22.4, an
authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows could supply a local filesystem path as
the source repository in the Git node's Clone operation, or as the target repository in the Push
operation, bypassing the N8N_RESTRICT_FILE_ACCESS_TO file sandbox. This allowed the contents of any local
git repository accessible to the n8n process to be cloned into an allowed path and read, circumventing the
access restrictions that correctly blocked direct file reads to the same paths. This vulnerability is
fixed in 1.123.48, 2.21.8, and 2.22.4. (CVE-2026-49465)

Solution

Update the n8n library and its related packages to version 1.123.48 or later.
