What changed

A security vulnerability in n8n allows authenticated users with permission to create or modify workflows containing a Python Code Node to escape the sandbox and achieve arbitrary code execution on the task runner container.

Who it affects

All n8n instances with the Python Task Runner enabled, where users have permissions to create or modify workflows.

What to do today

Upgrade n8n to version 1.123.48, 2.21.8, or 2.22.4 or later. If immediate upgrade is not possible, limit workflow creation permissions, disable the Python Code node via NODES_EXCLUDE, or disable the Python Task Runner.
