CVE-2026-54687 is a critical-severity flaw (CVSS 9.8) affecting n8n-node-sqlite3. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

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 potenti

dangerblack n8n-node-sqlite3 DOWNGRADE

Affected: 1.0.0

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.0.0

1. Check installed version

npm ls n8n-node-sqlite3

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 1.0.0

npm view n8n-node-sqlite3 versions npm install n8n-node-sqlite3@"<1.0.0"

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
