How severe is GHSA-xgp7-7qjq-vg47?

GHSA-xgp7-7qjq-vg47 has a CVSS score of 8.8/10, rated HIGH. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-xgp7-7qjq-vg47?

GHSA-xgp7-7qjq-vg47 affects the following packages: n8n (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix GHSA-xgp7-7qjq-vg47?

Update n8n to 1.113.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-xgp7-7qjq-vg47 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-xgp7-7qjq-vg47 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-xgp7-7qjq-vg47 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

Is GHSA-xgp7-7qjq-vg47 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-xgp7-7qjq-vg47 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-xgp7-7qjq-vg47?

GHSA-xgp7-7qjq-vg47 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.8%, placing it in the 57th 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-xgp7-7qjq-vg47?

GHSA-xgp7-7qjq-vg47 is classified as CWE-829 (CWE-829). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was GHSA-xgp7-7qjq-vg47 published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-xgp7-7qjq-vg47 was published on October 30, 2025 and was last updated on October 30, 2025. 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

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Git Node component available in both Cloud and Self-Hosted versions of n8n. When a malicious actor clones a remote repository containing a pre-commit hook, the subsequent use of the Commit operation in the Git Node can inadvertently trigger the hook’s execution.

This allows attackers to execute arbitrary code within the n8n environment, potentially compromising the system and any connected credentials or workflows.

All users with workflows that utilize the Git Node to clone untrusted repositories are affected.

Patches

The vulnerability was addressed in v1.113.0 (n8n-io/n8n#19559), which introduces a new environment variable: N8N_GIT_NODE_DISABLE_BARE_REPOS. For self-hosted deployments, it is strongly recommended to set this variable to true to mitigate the risk of executing malicious Git hooks.

Workarounds

To reduce risk prior to upgrading:

Avoid cloning or interacting with untrusted repositories using the Git Node.
Disable or restrict the use of the Git Node in workflows where repository content cannot be fully trusted.
