How NewScan reports it

COMPONENT VERSION RANGE

NewScan fingerprints n8n from its response and reports this CVE when the detected version falls inside the affected range below.

Added 2026-09-09. The vendor advisory fixes the 1.x branch in 1.123.76: the Git node matched an attacker-controlled clone destination against a vulnerable regular expression, allowing resource exhaustion. Version-match only; NewScan never sends a ReDoS payload or concludes from timing. The exact 1.x version comes from versionCli in anonymous GET /rest/settings. The affected 2.x branches fixed in 2.37.7 and 2.38.2 are deliberately absent because n8n 2.x publishes no anonymous version (D152); rows for them would never fire.
