Description

Impact

The Postgres Trigger node interpolated user-supplied identifier parameters (channel, function, and trigger names) into SQL statements without proper escaping, so an authenticated user could inject arbitrary SQL executed against the connected PostgreSQL database with the configured credential's privileges.

Successful exploitation allows full read and write access to the connected PostgreSQL database.

Patches

The issue has been fixed in n8n versions 1.123.67, 2.31.5 and 2.32.1. Users should upgrade to 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 PostgresTrigger node by adding n8n-nodes-base.postgresTrigger to the NODES_EXCLUDE environment variable.
  • Ensure PostgreSQL credentials used with n8n are configured with the minimum required privileges and do not use SUPERUSER roles.

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

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    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.

  2. Fix

    Update n8n to 1.123.67 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-jqwr-vx3p-r266 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Until you can upgrade, make sure every query built from user input uses parameterised statements or a prepared-statement API rather than string concatenation, and reduce the database account's privileges so an injected query cannot read or alter data beyond what the feature needs.
