Am I affected? Affected: n8n < 1.123.67, >= 2.0.0-rc.0 < 2.31.5, >= 2.32.0 < 2.32.1. Fixed in: 1.123.67, 2.31.5, 2.32.1.
- Check your version: run
npm ls n8n. Versions < 1.123.67 of n8n are affected.
What to do now
- Upgrade to the fixed version: run
npm install n8n@1.123.67(first patched version 1.123.67). - Upgrade to n8n 1.123.67, 2.31.5, or 2.32.1, or later.
- Restrict n8n instance access to fully trusted users only.
- Disable the Edit Image node by adding
n8n-nodes-base.editImageto theNODES_EXCLUDEenvironment variable.
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.
