Summary

A vulnerability in n8n before version 2.28.0 (and before 1.123.58 on the 1.x branch) allows disk space exhaustion via the data-table file upload endpoint. The per-request quota check does not account for files already written to the shared temporary directory, enabling an authenticated user to repeatedly upload files that accumulate on disk until periodic cleanup runs.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves potential exhaustion of available disk space on the host, which can lead to service disruption, inability to write data, or complete system halt.

Recommendation

Immediately upgrade n8n to version 2.28.0 or later (for the 1.x branch to 1.123.58 or later). As a temporary mitigation, restrict user permissions to the upload endpoint or shorten the temporary directory cleanup interval.
