CVE-2026-77074: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') in n8n-io n8n
n8n versions before 1.123.69 contain a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the Edit Image node's Draw Text operation that allows authenticated users to inject MVG primitives. Attackers can craft malicious text values to issue blind outbound HTTP requests to arbitrary addresses or access local files.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-77074 is a server-side request forgery vulnerability in n8n's Edit Image node Draw Text operation present in versions before 1.123.69. Authenticated users can inject MVG primitives via crafted text input, which can cause the server to make outbound HTTP requests to arbitrary locations or access local files. This vulnerability arises from improper control over code generation within the image editing functionality.
Potential Impact
An attacker with authenticated access can exploit this vulnerability to cause the server to make outbound HTTP requests to arbitrary addresses or access local files. This could lead to information disclosure or interaction with internal network resources. The CVSS score of 6 (medium severity) reflects the requirement for authentication and high attack complexity.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in n8n version 1.123.69. Users should upgrade to version 1.123.69 or later to remediate this vulnerability. No other mitigation guidance is provided.
