15th percentile - higher than 15% of all known CVEs

Summary

n8n before 1.123.64, 2.29.8, and 2.30.1 contains a TOCTOU race condition in the Git node's clone operation that allows authenticated users to bypass path restrictions by swapping a directory for a symlink after the path is validated but before the clone runs. This lets an attacker plant a crafted repository in the community node directory, which n8n loads as a custom node on the next restart, executing arbitrary JavaScript on the server. Both self-hosted and cloud instances are affected.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes remote code execution on the n8n server, which could lead to full compromise of the instance and data access.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade n8n immediately to version 1.123.64, 2.29.8, or 2.30.1.
