n8n n8n@2.40.5 released on 21-09-2026


n8n n8n@2.40.5 is out now. It limits declarative routing during base URL ownership checks to prevent routing and ownership-check interference for deployments that use webhooks, custom domains or multi-instance setups.

See the GitHub compare for the full change and technical notes: https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/compare/n8n@2.40.4…n8n@2.40.5

What’s in this release

  • Bug fix: limit declarative routing during base URL ownership checks (issue #39147, commit ebe5a73).
  • The change prevents incorrect ownership evaluations and misrouted requests when validating a base URL used for webhooks, custom domains and multi-instance checks.
  • Affects setups running custom declarative routing or hosting multiple domains; those users should apply the patch to avoid ownership-check-related routing issues.

Upgrade notes

  • No database migrations or breaking changes are expected; apply the usual patch update (Docker image tag n8nio/n8n:n8n@2.40.5 or equivalent) and verify webhook and domain validations in a staging environment.
  • If you encounter unexpected behaviour, roll back to the previous tag for your deployment method.

Share your experience or any issues on the project’s GitHub so maintainers and the community can follow up.
