CVE-2026-65589: Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File in n8n-io n8n
n8n versions before 1.123.64 fail to properly mask custom HTTP header credentials in LLM sub-node execution data, writing plaintext API keys and secrets to workflow execution records. Authenticated users with access to execution data can read exposed header values and credentials that persist in the database and can be exported.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-65589 describes a vulnerability in n8n versions prior to 1.123.64 where custom HTTP header credentials used in LLM sub-node executions are not properly masked. As a result, plaintext API keys and secrets are recorded in workflow execution logs and stored in the database. Authenticated users with permission to view execution data can access these sensitive values, which may also be included in exported data. This improper handling of sensitive information constitutes an information disclosure vulnerability with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.1 (medium severity). No vendor advisory or patch information is currently provided.
Potential Impact
Sensitive credentials such as API keys and secrets are exposed in plaintext within execution logs and database records. Authenticated users with access to execution data can read these credentials, increasing the risk of credential compromise and unauthorized access to integrated services. The vulnerability does not allow unauthenticated access or privilege escalation but poses a confidentiality risk to sensitive data.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict access to execution data strictly to trusted users and avoid exporting execution data containing sensitive headers. Review and rotate any exposed API keys or secrets to limit potential misuse.
