CVE-2026-49465 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting n8n n8n. It was published on June 23, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.7 (HIGH).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.7, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.
Technical Description
n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to 1.123.48, 2.21.8, and 2.22.4, an authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows could supply a local filesystem path as the source repository in the Git node's Clone operation, or as the target repository in the Push operation, bypassing the N8N_RESTRICT_FILE_ACCESS_TO file sandbox. This allowed the contents of any local git repository accessible to the n8n process to be cloned into an allowed path and read, circumventing the access restrictions that correctly blocked direct file reads to the same paths. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.123.48, 2.21.8, and 2.22.4.
Remediation
Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from n8n. Update n8n to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
