## Overview

n8n versions before 1.123.67 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the Git node's fetch, pull, and push-tags operations that allows authenticated users to bypass repository-path containment checks. Attackers with workflow create/execute rights can point allowlisted remote configurations at local paths outside the sandbox to pull arbitrary git repositories and read their files and history.

## Affected

- `n8n < 1.123.67`
- `n8n >= 2.32.0 < 2.32.1`
- `n8n >= 2.0.0-rc.0 < 2.31.5`

## Remediation
