Description
In certain versions of the n8n workflow automation platform prior to 1.123.69, 2.33.4, and 2.34.1, the JavaScript Code node's VM sandbox did not freeze Function.prototype. This allowed an authenticated user with workflow creation and execution permissions to modify Function.prototype within the sandbox and obtain a reference to the host's globalThis, resulting in a sandbox escape. The exploit requires specific modules to be allowlisted in the deployment configuration. The issue is fixed in versions 1.123.69, 2.33.4, and 2.34.1.

Technical Analysis
The vulnerability in n8n affects the JavaScript Code node's VM sandbox where Function.prototype was not frozen, enabling an authenticated user with workflow execution rights to manipulate the prototype and escape the sandbox environment. This escape allows access to the host's globalThis object. Successful exploitation depends on the presence of certain allowlisted modules in the deployment. The vulnerability is addressed by fixes in versions 1.123.69, 2.33.4, and 2.34.1.
Potential Impact
An authenticated user with the ability to create and execute workflows can escape the sandboxed JavaScript environment, potentially accessing the host environment's global context. This can lead to unauthorized code execution outside the intended sandbox, posing a confidentiality risk. The CVSS score of 5.9 reflects a moderate severity with high confidentiality impact but requires low privileges and high attack complexity.
Mitigation Recommendations
The vulnerability is fixed in n8n versions 1.123.69, 2.33.4, and 2.34.1. Users should upgrade to these or later versions to remediate the issue. No additional mitigation steps are indicated beyond applying the official fixes.
