CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects n8n versions prior to 1.123.64, 2.29.8, and 2.30.1, specifically within the Git node's clone operation, where a TOCTOU race condition allows authenticated users to exploit path restrictions. This can lead to the execution of arbitrary JavaScript on the server by planting a malicious repository in the community node directory, impacting both self-hosted and cloud instances. Organizations using n8n should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of unauthorized code execution.

Original NVD Description
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.
