Am I affected? Affected: n8n < 2.25.7 and 2.26.0 to 2.26.2. Fixed in: 2.25.7 and 2.26.2.
- Check your version: run
npm ls n8n. Versions >= 2.26.0, < 2.26.2 of n8n are affected.
What to do now
- Upgrade to the fixed version: run
npm install n8n@2.26.2(first patched version 2.26.2). - Upgrade to n8n 2.25.7 or 2.26.2, or later.
- If upgrading is not immediately possible, restrict workflow sharing to fully trusted users only.
- Restrict network access to the n8n Public API to 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.
