HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
CVSS is 7.7. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

n8n versions before 1.123.67, 2.31.5, and 2.32.1 contain an arbitrary file write vulnerability in the Edit Image node, which passes its output format parameter to the underlying image library without validation. An authenticated user able to run workflows can supply a crafted format value to write arbitrary files outside the node's working directory on the n8n instance.
