description

n8n workflow-history processing can allow workflow connection data to modify object behavior across the running process. A low-privileged user who can save a workflow may cause login and write operations to return server errors when history compaction processes the workflow.

mitigation

Upgrade n8n to >= 2.41.4 or later.

fixed in >= 2.41.4
