Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Subsequent System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 31 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Upgrade n8n to version 1.123.76, 2.37.7, or 2.38.2 where the vulnerability is fixed. As a workaround, disable the Git node by adding 'n8n-nodes-base.git' to the NODES_EXCLUDE configuration setting. No other actions are indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

CVE-2026-92587 is a medium severity vulnerability in the n8n workflow automation platform affecting certain versions before 1.123.76, 2.37.7, and 2.38.2. The Git node improperly validated relative remote URLs, allowing an authenticated user to bypass sandbox restrictions and access git repositories outside the intended directory. This could lead to unauthorized reading of repository contents. The issue is fixed in versions 1.123.76, 2.37.7, and 2.38.2. A workaround is to disable the Git node by excluding it via configuration.

Impact

An authenticated user with member privileges can bypass sandbox file access restrictions in the Git node, potentially reading git repositories outside the intended directory. This could lead to unauthorized disclosure of repository contents. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3 (medium severity), reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges required beyond authenticated membership, no user interaction, and limited confidentiality impact.

Summary

The vulnerability arises because the Git node in n8n validated a relative remote URL against a configured repository path but then invoked git with that path as the working directory. Git resolved the relative URL from the enclosing repository's top level, which could be outside the sandboxed directory. An authenticated user nesting the repository one level below the configured path could pass the file-access check while git resolved the URL outside the sandbox. This allowed subsequent git fetch or pull operations to read repositories outside the restricted path and merge their objects into the user's repository, exposing contents. The fix in versions 1.123.76, 2.37.7, and 2.38.2 ensures the remote reference is resolved from the actual git working directory before applying sandbox checks. Disabling the Git node is a recommended workaround.
