How do I fix GHSA-v98v-ff95-f3cp?

Update n8n to version 1.120.4 or later. Run your dependency manager's update command and verify no transitive dependencies pin the vulnerable version. Use O3 Security's SCA scanner to confirm the fix is applied across your entire dependency tree.

Is GHSA-v98v-ff95-f3cp actively exploited in the wild?

Yes. There are 5 known exploit references for GHSA-v98v-ff95-f3cp, including . All exploit code should only be run in an isolated sandbox environment for research or authorized testing — never against production systems without explicit written authorization.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-v98v-ff95-f3cp?

GHSA-v98v-ff95-f3cp has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 68.3%, placing it in the 99th 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. A score above 50% indicates significantly elevated exploitation risk — immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Is GHSA-v98v-ff95-f3cp in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog?

Yes. GHSA-v98v-ff95-f3cp (n8n Improper Control of Dynamically-Managed Code Resources Vulnerability) was added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog on 2026-03-11. CISA required all US federal civilian agencies to remediate this vulnerability by 2026-03-25. The required action was: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. Being listed in the KEV catalog is the strongest possible confirmation of active exploitation — treat this as a critical priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-v98v-ff95-f3cp?

GHSA-v98v-ff95-f3cp is classified as CWE-913 (CWE-913). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

Is there exploit tooling available for GHSA-v98v-ff95-f3cp?

A Nuclei detection template exists for GHSA-v98v-ff95-f3cp, meaning automated scanners can fingerprint it. Public exploit tooling significantly increases real-world risk — prioritize patching and ensure detection coverage. Exploit tooling should only ever be used in isolated, authorized testing environments.

When was GHSA-v98v-ff95-f3cp published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-v98v-ff95-f3cp was published on December 22, 2025 and was last updated on March 13, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects npm packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Impact

n8n contains a critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in its workflow expression evaluation system. Under certain conditions, expressions supplied by authenticated users during workflow configuration may be evaluated in an execution context that is not sufficiently isolated from the underlying runtime.

An authenticated attacker could abuse this behavior to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the n8n process. Successful exploitation may lead to full compromise of the affected instance, including unauthorized access to sensitive data, modification of workflows, and execution of system-level operations.

Patches

This issue has been fixed in n8n v1.122.0.

Users are strongly advised to upgrade to version 1.122.0 or later, which introduces additional safeguards to restrict expression evaluation.

Workarounds

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

Limit workflow creation and editing permissions to fully trusted users only.
Deploy n8n in a hardened environment with restricted operating system privileges and network access to reduce the impact of potential exploitation.

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