Am I affected?

n8n: affected n8n < 2.24.0. Fixed in 2.24.0.

  • Check your version: run npm ls n8n. Versions < 2.24.0 of n8n are affected. [1]

What to do now

  1. Upgrade to the fixed version: run npm install n8n@2.24.0 (first patched version 2.24.0). [1]
  2. Upgrade to n8n version 2.24.0 or later. [1]
  3. Limit workflow creation and editing permissions to fully trusted users only. [1]
  4. Disable the MongoDB node by adding n8n-nodes-base.mongoDb to the NODES_EXCLUDE environment variable. [1]

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.
