Summary
n8n before 1.123.83, from 2.0.0 before 2.41.4, and from 2.42.0 before 2.42.1 contains a code execution flaw in the Git node Log operation. The node fails to strip a repository's local git configuration before it runs an external program (CWE-15). An authenticated user who can point the node, including as an agent tool, at a repository whose local configuration they control can run programs as the n8n process user.
