CVE-2026-42229: CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in n8n-io n8n
CVE-2026-42229 is a medium severity SQL injection vulnerability in the n8n workflow automation platform affecting the SeaTable node's row:search and row:get operations. Prior to patched versions 1. 123. 32, 2. 17. 4, and 2. 18. 1, user input could be injected directly into SQL queries without proper escaping or parameterization. This allows an attacker to manipulate queries to retrieve unintended rows from the connected SeaTable base, bypassing row-level filtering implemented in workflows. The vulnerability has been fixed in the specified versions.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
n8n versions before 1.123.32, 2.17.4, and 2.18.1 contain an SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in the SeaTable node's row:search and row:get operations. User-controlled input passed via expressions into these parameters is concatenated directly into SQL query strings without sanitization, enabling attackers to alter the query logic and access unauthorized data rows. This flaw compromises row-level filtering controls in workflows that integrate SeaTable. The issue is addressed by patches in the stated versions.
Potential Impact
An attacker able to supply input to the vulnerable SeaTable node parameters can manipulate SQL queries to retrieve data rows that should be restricted by workflow filtering logic. This leads to unauthorized data disclosure from the connected SeaTable base. The vulnerability does not require user interaction but does require some level of privileges to inject input into the workflow. There are no known exploits in the wild as of the publication date.
Mitigation Recommendations
This vulnerability is patched in n8n versions 1.123.32, 2.17.4, and 2.18.1. Users should upgrade to these or later versions to remediate the issue. Since this is not a cloud service, remediation depends on applying the official fixes. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor advisory. No additional mitigations are specified.
