## How to prioritise N8n patching

This order follows the data Threadlinqs holds for N8n, not a generic severity checklist:

- 1 of 10 N8n CVEs (10%) are in CISA KEV: treat them as actively exploited and remediate them first, starting with [CVE-2025-68613](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/cve/CVE-2025-68613).
- Outside KEV, the highest EPSS scores are [CVE-2026-21877](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/cve/CVE-2026-21877) (14.1%), [CVE-2026-21858](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/cve/CVE-2026-21858) (6.6%), [CVE-2026-56777](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/cve/CVE-2026-56777) (0.3%).
- 8 CVEs score Critical and 1 High on CVSS v3 (maximum 10, average 9.3); sequence these after KEV and high-EPSS items.
