CVE-2026-65592: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in n8n-io n8n
n8n before 1.123.64, 2.29.8, and 2.30.1 contains a stored DOM cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Resource Locator component, which passes the workflow-persisted cachedResultUrl parameter to window.open() without scheme validation. An attacker with workflow creation/editing privileges can craft a workflow with a malicious (e.g., javascript:) scheme in cachedResultUrl; when a victim opens the crafted workflow and interacts with external links, the payload executes in the victim's browser.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-65592 is a stored DOM XSS vulnerability in n8n's Resource Locator component affecting versions before 1.123.64, 2.29.8, and 2.30.1. The issue occurs because the cachedResultUrl parameter, persisted in workflows, is passed directly to window.open() without scheme validation. An attacker with privileges to create or edit workflows can embed a malicious URL with a javascript: scheme. When a victim opens the crafted workflow and interacts with external links, the malicious script executes in their browser context, leading to potential compromise of user session or data.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with workflow creation or editing privileges to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of a victim's browser when they open the malicious workflow and interact with external links. This can lead to high-impact consequences such as session hijacking, unauthorized actions, or data exposure within the affected application context.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict workflow creation and editing privileges to trusted users only to reduce the risk of exploitation. Monitor vendor communications for updates regarding patches or official mitigations.
