SCA: security update for n8n (GHSA-w867-jm58-p9pv)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 445149

Description

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

 - n8n before 2.28.0 (and before 1.123.58 on the 1.x branch) contains a disk space exhaustion vulnerability
 in the data-table file upload endpoint. The per-request quota check does not account for files already
 written to the shared temporary directory, allowing an authenticated user to repeatedly upload files that
 accumulate on disk until the periodic cleanup runs, potentially exhausting available disk space on the
 host. (CVE-2026-58661)

Solution

Update the n8n library and its related packages to version 1.123.58 or later.
