Am I affected? Affected: n8n >= 2.38.0, < 2.38.2 and n8n < 2.37.7. Fixed in: 2.38.2 and 2.37.7.
- Check your version: run
npm ls n8n. Versions >= 2.38.0, < 2.38.2 of n8n are affected.
What to do now
- Upgrade to the fixed version: run
npm install n8n@2.38.2(first patched version 2.38.2). - Upgrade to n8n 2.38.2 or 2.37.7 or later.
- Restrict n8n instance access to fully trusted users only.
- Audit and revoke any custom global roles that carry the
role:manageProjectscope, limiting that scope to fully trusted users only.
General practice, not from the source: if the affected software could read tokens or credentials, rotate them after upgrading; pin versions and review changes before updating tools your agents run.
