AI-suggested

  1. Upgrade n8n installations immediately to versions 1.123.26, 2.13.3, 2.14.1, or later to apply the official patch that fully remediates the vulnerability.
  2. Restrict workflow creation and modification permissions strictly to fully trusted and vetted users to reduce the risk of exploitation by insiders or compromised accounts.
  3. Temporarily disable the Data Table node by adding 'n8n-nodes-base.dataTable' to the NODES_EXCLUDE environment variable to prevent use of the vulnerable functionality.
  4. Conduct a thorough audit of existing workflows, focusing on Data Table Get nodes where the 'orderByColumn' parameter uses expressions incorporating external or user-supplied input, and refactor or remove unsafe constructs.
  5. Implement strong authentication and monitoring around user accounts with workflow editing privileges to detect and prevent unauthorized access.
  6. Consider deploying database-level protections such as query parameterization and strict role-based access controls to limit the impact of potential injection attempts.
  7. Monitor n8n logs and database activity for suspicious queries indicative of exploitation attempts. These measures, combined with patching, provide a layered defense against this vulnerability.

Description

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.
