GHSA-w867-jm58-p9pv: n8n: Authenticated Users Can Exhaust Temporary Disk Storage via Data-Table File Uploads

mediumCVE-2026-58661
Impact An authenticated user can repeatedly upload files to the data-table upload endpoint, bypassing the per-request quota check, which does not account for files already written to the shared temporary directory. This causes temporary files to accumulate on disk until the periodic cleanup runs, potentially exhausting available disk space on the host. Patches Users should upgrade to the patched version once available to remediate the vulnerability. Workarounds If upgrading is not immediately possible, administrators should consider the following temporary mitigations: - Restrict n8n instance access to fully trusted users only. - Set uploadMaxFileSize to a low value to limit individual upload size. - Monitor and alert on disk usage in the n8n temporary upload directory. These workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.
