A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was identified in the @n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.chatTrigger node in n8n. If an authorized user configures the node with malicious JavaScript in the initialMessages field and enables public access, the script will be executed in the browser of anyone who visits the resulting public chat URL.
