Lifecycle Timeline
5DescriptionGitHub Advisory
n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to versions 2.14.1, 2.13.3, and 1.123.26, an authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows could exploit a SQL injection vulnerability in the Data Table Get node. On default SQLite DB, single statements can be manipulated and the attack surface is practically limited. On PostgreSQL deployments, multi-statement execution is possible, enabling data modification and deletion. The issue has been fixed in n8n versions 1.123.26, 2.13.3, and 2.14.1. Users should upgrade to one of these versions or later to remediate the vulnerability. If upgrading is not immediately possible, administrators should consider the following temporary mitigations: Limit workflow creation and editing permissions to fully trusted users only, disable the Data Table node by adding n8n-nodes-base.dataTable to the NODES_EXCLUDE environment variable, and/or review existing workflows for Data Table Get nodes where orderByColumn is set to an expression that incorporates external or user-supplied input. These workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.
AnalysisAI

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires authenticated n8n user with workflow creation/modification permissions. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N indicates this is a remotely exploitable vulnerability with low attack complexity requiring only low-level authenticated privileges and no user interaction, presenting a significant risk profile. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated attacker with workflow creation privileges crafts a malicious n8n workflow containing a Data Table Get node with a specially crafted orderByColumn expression that injects SQL commands. On a PostgreSQL-backed n8n instance, the attacker executes the workflow to perform stacked SQL queries that exfiltrate sensitive workflow data, modify user permissions in the database, or delete critical configuration tables, potentially compromising the entire n8n deployment and any connected systems accessible through stored credentials. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade n8n to version 1.123.26, 2.13.3, 2.14.1 or later depending on your current version branch to fully remediate this vulnerability (see GitHub advisory at https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/security/advisories/GHSA-98c2-4cr3-4jc3). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Identify all n8n instances in your environment and determine which use PostgreSQL versus SQLite backends; restrict workflow creation/modification permissions to essential personnel only. …
