No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-gf29-4f56-r2jf yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-gf29-4f56-r2jf?

GHSA-gf29-4f56-r2jf affects the following packages: n8n (npm), n8n (npm), n8n (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix GHSA-gf29-4f56-r2jf?

Update n8n to 1.123.67 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-gf29-4f56-r2jf is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-gf29-4f56-r2jf in my npm dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for n8n, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-gf29-4f56-r2jf if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Resolve every user-supplied path to its canonical form and reject anything that escapes the intended directory, and run the component under an account that has no read or write access outside the directory it legitimately serves.

Is GHSA-gf29-4f56-r2jf actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-gf29-4f56-r2jf yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-gf29-4f56-r2jf?

GHSA-gf29-4f56-r2jf has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.7%, placing it in the 52th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-gf29-4f56-r2jf?

GHSA-gf29-4f56-r2jf is classified as Path Traversal (CWE-22). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was GHSA-gf29-4f56-r2jf published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-gf29-4f56-r2jf was published on July 22, 2026 and was last updated on August 12, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Impact

Authenticated n8n users with workflow create/execute rights could use the Git node's fetch, pull, or push-tags operations to bypass the repository-path containment checks that already protected clone and push. By pointing an allowlisted remote configuration value at a local path outside the intended sandbox, an attacker could pull an arbitrary local git repository into the workspace and subsequently read its files and history.

Patches

The issue has been fixed in n8n versions 1.123.67, 2.31.5, and 2.32.1. Users should upgrade to one of these versions or later to remediate the vulnerability.

Workarounds

If upgrading is not immediately possible, administrators should consider the following temporary mitigations:

Restrict n8n instance access to fully trusted users only.
Disable the Git node by adding n8n-nodes-base.git to the NODES_EXCLUDE environment variable.

These workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.
