NVD description
n8n versions before 1.123.67 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the Git node's fetch, pull, and push-tags operations that allows authenticated users to bypass repository-path containment checks. Attackers with workflow create/execute rights can point allowlisted remote configurations at local paths outside the sandbox to pull arbitrary git repositories and read their files and history.
What to do
- Upgrade n8n to
1.123.67or later (or the patched release of your branch: 2.31.5, 2.32.1). - Do not expose the component's API or UI to the internet without authentication in front of it.
