CVE-2026-126384 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 7.7 (high) and affects n8n; fixed in 1.123.89, 2.46.1, 2.45.5 and 1 more.

## Summary

n8n's official Docker image bundles a GraphicsMagick version with known vulnerabilities, which the Edit Image node uses to process images. A remote attacker with low-privilege login access can supply crafted untrusted images to an Edit Image workflow, such as one fed by a Webhook node, and execute code on the n8n instance.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Who should check

Teams running self-hosted n8n from the official Docker image with Edit Image workflows that process untrusted images, such as Webhook-fed workflows

## Affected

- n8n-io n8n: fixed in 1.123.89
- n8n-io n8n: from 2.46.0, fixed in 2.46.1
- n8n-io n8n: from 2.0.0, fixed in 2.45.5
- n8n-io n8n: from 3.0.0, fixed in 3.0.1

## Description

n8n before 1.123.89, 2.x before 2.45.5, 2.46.x before 2.46.1, and 3.x before 3.0.1 bundles a GraphicsMagick version with known vulnerabilities in its official Docker image, which the Edit Image node uses to process images. Attackers who can supply crafted untrusted images to an Edit Image workflow, such as one fed by a Webhook node, can execute code on the n8n instance.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on n8n-io n8n, upgrade to a fixed version (1.123.89, 2.46.1, 2.45.5, 3.0.1) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, run the stack.check operation (execute) on the cve.now MCP server (https://mcp.cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.

## Check your systems with an agent

```text
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-126384 (n8n before 1.123.89 RCE via Bundled GraphicsMagick in Edit Image Node), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-126384 (entry last updated 2026-11-13):
Affected:
- n8n-io n8n: fixed in 1.123.89
- n8n-io n8n: from 2.46.0, fixed in 2.46.1
- n8n-io n8n: from 2.0.0, fixed in 2.45.5
- n8n-io n8n: from 3.0.0, fixed in 3.0.1
Fixed versions: 1.123.89, 2.46.1, 2.45.5, 3.0.1.
Conditions (all must be true for the bug to be hit):
- Runs the official n8n Docker image, which bundles the affected GraphicsMagick version (source: https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/n8n-before-1.123.89-rce-via-bundled-graphicsmagick-in-edit-image-node)
- An Edit Image node processes untrusted images, for example from a Webhook-fed workflow (source: https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/security/advisories/GHSA-f2cw-9483-7vcp)
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
Attacker needs: network access, low-privilege login, no user action.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-126384 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-126384 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:

Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.

## FAQ

### Is CVE-2026-126384 being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.
