Upgrade n8n to version 2.5.0 or higher.
Overview
n8n is a n8n Workflow Automation Tool
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in the Source Control feature when configured to use SSH, as the SSH command disables host key verification. An attacker can intercept repository data or inject malicious content by performing a man-in-the-middle attack between the affected instance and the remote Git server.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling the Source Control feature if not required, or by restricting network access to ensure communication with the Git server occurs only over trusted, controlled network paths.
