n8n is an open-source workflow automation tool that connects multiple applications through a visual drag-and-drop interface, enabling the automation of repetitive tasks without the need for coding. Recently, a critical security advisory was released (CVE-2026-1470, CVSS: 9.9). This is a remote code execution vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the n8n process, which may result in unauthorized access to sensitive data, tampering with workflows, and execution of system-level operations.
