What it is
The record does not classify the weakness yet; the description below says what the reporter found.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, with an ordinary user account, and nobody has to click anything. Success also depends on conditions the attacker does not fully control.
What an attacker gains
A successful attack can read the data it protects, change data or behaviour and take it offline.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet. EPSS estimates a 0.56% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 47% of scored CVEs.
What to do
- Upgrade n8n-io n8n to a fixed version for your release line (1.123.89, 2.46.1, 2.45.5).
- Until it is patched, review who holds accounts that can reach it.
Description from NVD
n8n before 1.123.89, 2.x before 2.45.5, 2.46.x before 2.46.1, and 3.x before 3.0.1 bundles a GraphicsMagick version with known vulnerabilities in its official Docker image, which the Edit Image node uses to process images. Attackers who can supply crafted untrusted images to an Edit Image workflow, such as one fed by a Webhook node, can execute code on the n8n instance.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- n8n-io n8n. Start from where it runs and what it is connected to.
Trust boundaries in play
- Authenticated network access. An account is needed, so exposure follows who can sign in: customers, partners or staff.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does n8n-io n8n run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
