Synopsis

N8n < 1.121.3 Arbitrary File Write

Description

According to its banner, the version of n8n running on the remote host is after 0.123.0 and before 1.121.3. It is, therefore, affected by an authenticated arbitrary file write.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
