AI-suggested
A fix is available in n8n versions 1.123.85, 2.43.5, and 2.44.1. Users should upgrade to these or later versions to prevent credential secrets from being stored in execution error data. No vendor advisory content was provided to indicate alternative mitigations or that no action is required.
Description
n8n versions before 1.123.85, 2.x before 2.43.5, and 2.44.x before 2.44.1 improperly store credential secrets in execution error data for certain nodes. This exposure occurs when operations fail in the Git, MongoDB Atlas Vector Store, and Google Cloud Storage nodes. Users with permission to view workflow executions but without credential read access can extract sensitive secrets such as Git passwords or tokens, MongoDB passwords, and Google access tokens from the error data.
