n8n-nodes-sqlite3: Path traversal via user-controlled database file path (db_path parameter)
cve-program · CVE-2026-54687
Publishedn8n-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.

Published## Affected versions < 1.0.0 ## Patched version 1.0.0 ## Description In versions prior to 1.0.0, the SQLite node accepted the database file path as a direct node parameter visible and editable in the workflow. A workflow author who mapped untrusted user input to the db_path field could allow an attacker to control which file was opened by SQLite, potentially enabling path traversal to read or overwrite arbitrary files accessible to the n8n process. The vulnerability requires the workflow author to explicitly wire untrusted input to the db_path parameter, so it does not affect standalone deployments where only trusted users author workflows. However, in multi-tenant or user-facing n8n deployments the risk is elevated. Fixed in v1.0.0 by moving the database path into a credential (v2 node architecture), which is stored server-side and not controllable by workflow input data. ## References - Fix commit: 145a887 - Introduced credential-based path: v2 node ## Credits dyingman1 (role: Reporter)

Exploitation and risk
Source statusCISA KEV lists vulnerabilities known to be exploited. FIRST EPSS estimates the likelihood of exploitation in the next 30 days. An unavailable score does not mean zero risk.
Which CVEs have scores here?
This view includes predictions for CVE identifiers explicitly listed in public NuGet advisories. Microsoft release pages have their own prediction coverage. Check source status for the scope and latest checks.
No exploitation or prediction data is available here for these CVEs. This does not mean they are safe or unlikely to be exploited.
