Description

CVE-2026-77074 is a medium severity vulnerability in n8n versions before 1.123.69 that affects the Edit Image node's Draw Text operation. Authenticated users can exploit this flaw to inject MVG primitives, enabling blind outbound HTTP requests to arbitrary addresses or access to local files. The vulnerability arises from improper control of code generation, specifically a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vector. Multiple version ranges of n8n are affected, including versions before 1.123.69 and certain 2.x releases prior to specific patch versions.

Technical Analysis

This vulnerability in n8n allows authenticated users to inject MVG primitives via the Edit Image node's Draw Text operation, leading to server-side request forgery. Attackers can craft malicious text values that cause the server to issue blind outbound HTTP requests to arbitrary addresses or access local files. The issue is present in n8n versions prior to 1.123.69, as well as in certain 2.x versions before 2.33.4 and 2.34.1. The CVSS 4.0 score is 6.0, indicating medium severity, with network attack vector, high complexity, and low privileges required.

Potential Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows authenticated attackers to perform server-side request forgery, potentially enabling them to make unauthorized HTTP requests from the server to arbitrary external or internal addresses. This can lead to information disclosure such as accessing local files or internal network resources. The impact is limited to authenticated users with low privileges, and the attack complexity is high.

Mitigation Recommendations

A fix is available in n8n versions 1.123.69, 2.33.4, and 2.34.1 or later. Users should upgrade to these versions to remediate the vulnerability. Since this is not a cloud service, remediation depends on applying the vendor's patches. No vendor advisory content was provided, so check the official n8n release notes or security advisories for confirmation and detailed upgrade instructions.
