P1 Badge Ensure healthcheck command exists in image

The healthcheck script invokes wget, but this Dockerfile never installs wget and later removes /usr/bin/wget. On base images where wget isn’t present elsewhere in PATH, /usr/local/bin/healthcheck will fail with “wget: not found”, causing the container to be marked unhealthy and potentially restarted by the platform. Either install a healthcheck tool (e.g., keep wget/curl) or switch the healthcheck to a command guaranteed to exist.

The comment states "Nécessaire pour Supabase" (Necessary for Supabase) which is misleading. Supabase uses properly signed SSL certificates and should have SSL verification enabled. This comment should be corrected to reflect that disabling SSL verification is a security risk and should only be used in development environments, not production.

The workflow uses 'pull_request_target' which is a security risk. This event runs in the context of the base repository with write permissions, even for PRs from forks. If an attacker creates a malicious Dependabot-like PR from a fork, they could potentially exploit these write permissions. Consider using 'pull_request' event instead, or add additional security checks to verify the PR is genuinely from Dependabot.

Using force push with --force can lead to data loss if multiple people are working on the repository or if there are unsynced commits. While --force-with-lease is used on line 56 (which is safer), line 57 uses --force for tags which is dangerous. Consider using --force-with-lease for tags as well, or document the risks clearly.

Suggested change
git push origin --tags --force
git push origin --tags --force-with-lease

Deleting essential utilities like wget and curl after creating a healthcheck script that uses wget is problematic. The healthcheck script on line 52 uses wget, but line 59 removes it. This will cause the healthcheck to fail at runtime.

The DB_POSTGRESDB_SSL_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED setting is set to false, which disables SSL certificate verification. While the comment states this is necessary for Supabase, this is not accurate. Supabase uses valid SSL certificates that should be verified. Setting this to false creates a security vulnerability by making the connection susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks. This should be set to true for production deployments.

value: false # Nécessaire pour Supabase

The npm install @napi-rs/canvas invocation in this Dockerfile installs a third-party dependency from the public npm registry without pinning it to an immutable version or verifying its integrity. Because this Dockerfile is used to build the production image, a compromise of the @napi-rs/canvas package or its latest dist-tag could inject malicious code into your runtime container on the next build. Pin this dependency to a specific, known-good version (or lockfile) and/or enforce integrity verification (e.g., via checksums or a private registry mirror) to reduce supply-chain risk.

The example configuration sets DB_POSTGRESDB_SSL_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=false, which disables TLS certificate validation for the Postgres connection to Supabase. With certificate verification turned off, any attacker able to intercept or route traffic between n8n and the database can perform a man-in-the-middle attack to read or tamper with all workflow data. Instead, keep rejectUnauthorized enabled and trust the proper CA (or provide the Supabase CA certificate) so that the client verifies it is talking to the legitimate database server.

DB_POSTGRESDB_SSL_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=false

# Laissez cette valeur à "true" en production. Si nécessaire, fournissez le

1. Dans Supabase, allez à **Settings** > **Database**
2. Confirmez que SSL est activé (par défaut)
3. **Important** : Supabase utilise SSL, mais n8n nécessite `SSL_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=false`

This deployment guide explicitly recommends setting SSL_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=false for the Supabase Postgres connection, which disables TLS certificate validation. Following this guidance would let an attacker on the network impersonate the database and exfiltrate or modify all stored n8n data via a man-in-the-middle attack. Update the instructions to require full TLS verification (keeping rejectUnauthorized enabled and using trusted CA certificates) instead of disabling certificate checks.

Suggested change
3. **Important** : Supabase utilise SSL, mais n8n nécessite `SSL_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=false`
3. **Important** : Supabase utilise SSL. Laissez la vérification TLS activée (ne définissez pas `SSL_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=false`) et utilisez uniquement des certificats d’autorité de certification (CA) de confiance.
