CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The n8n-nodes-sqlite3 component prior to version 1.0.0 is vulnerable due to the exposure of the db_path parameter, which allows untrusted input to dictate the SQLite database file location. This can lead to directory traversal attacks, enabling remote attackers to read, create, or overwrite files within the process's accessible directories. Organizations using n8n for workflow automation should prioritize upgrading to version 1.0.0 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description

n8n-nodes-sqlite3 is a node for operating a local SQLite database from n8n. Prior to 1.0.0, nodes/SqliteNode/v1/SqliteV1.node.ts exposes the db_path database file path as a node parameter that permits data expressions from upstream workflow input. A workflow author who maps untrusted input to db_path can allow a remote attacker to select which SQLite file the n8n process opens, enabling traversal outside the intended database location and potentially reading, creating, or overwriting files accessible to the process. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.0.
