high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 445124

Description

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

- n8n before 1.123.64, 2.29.8, and 2.30.1 contains a stored DOM cross-site scripting vulnerability in the
Resource Locator component, which passes the workflow-persisted cachedResultUrl parameter to window.open()
without scheme validation. An attacker with workflow creation/editing privileges can craft a workflow with
a malicious (e.g., javascript:) scheme in cachedResultUrl; when a victim opens the crafted workflow and
interacts with external links, the payload executes in the victim's browser. (CVE-2026-65592)

Solution

Update the n8n library and its related packages to version 1.123.64 or later.
