CVE-2026-58661 Details
Description
n8n before 2.28.0 (and before 1.123.58 on the 1.x branch) contains a disk space exhaustion vulnerability in the data-table file upload endpoint. The per-request quota check does not account for files already written to the shared temporary directory, allowing an authenticated user to repeatedly upload files that accumulate on disk until the periodic cleanup runs, potentially exhausting available disk space on the host.
A disk space exhaustion vulnerability has been identified in n8n versions prior to 2.28.0 and in the 1.x branch prior to 1.123.58. The issue arises in the data-table file upload endpoint, where the per-request quota check fails to consider files already saved in the shared temporary directory. This oversight allows authenticated users to repeatedly upload files, which can accumulate on the disk until the next scheduled cleanup, potentially leading to a complete exhaustion of available disk space.
Users should upgrade to n8n version 2.28.0 or 1.123.58 and above. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, consider restricting access to trusted users, lowering the maximum upload file size, and monitoring disk usage in the temporary upload directory.
