Critical n8n Flaw CVE-2026-25049 Enables System Command Execution via Malicious Workflows
A new, critical security vulnerability has been disclosed in the n8n workflow automation platform that, if successfully exploited, could result in the execution of arbitrary system commands.
The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-25049 (CVSS score: 9.4), is the result of inadequate sanitization that bypasses safeguards put in place to address CVE-2025-68613 (CVSS score: 9.9), another critical defect that

Smashing Security podcast #453: The Epstein Files didn’t hide this hacker very well
Supposedly redacted Jeffrey Epstein files can still reveal exactly who they’re talking about – especially when AI, LinkedIn, and a few biographical breadcrumbs do the heavy lifting.
Sloppy redaction leads to explosive claims, and difficult reputational consequences for cybersecurity vendors, and we learn how trust – once cracked – can be almost impossible to fully restore.
Elsewhere, the spotlight turns to insider threat in the age of AI, after a senior US cybersecurity official uploads sensitive government material into the public version of ChatGPT. Oops.
All this, and much more, in episode 453 of Smashing Security with cybersecurity veteran Graham Cluley and special guest Tricia Howard.
Microsoft Develops Scanner to Detect Backdoors in Open-Weight Large Language Models
Microsoft on Wednesday said it built a lightweight scanner that it said can detect backdoors in open-weight large language models (LLMs) and improve the overall trust in artificial intelligence (AI) systems.
The tech giant’s AI Security team said the scanner leverages three observable signals that can be used to reliably flag the presence of backdoors while maintaining a low false positive
