SCA: security update for n8n (GHSA-qgpw-8g46-w95v)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 447925

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 1.123.76, 2.37.7, and 2.38.2, the Git node
 validated the repository parameter for fetch or pull, but setUpstream wrote a branch..remote value into
 repository configuration without validating it. A later fetch or pull resolved the remote from that
 configuration instead of the checked parameter. An authenticated workflow editor could therefore point Git
 at any local repository readable by the n8n process and receive its contents through packages/nodes-
 base/nodes/Git/GenericFunctions.ts. This issue is fixed in versions 1.123.76, 2.37.7 and 2.38.2.
 (CVE-2026-86995)

Solution

Update the n8n library and its related packages to version 1.123.76 or later.
