n8n before 1.123.64, 2.29.8, and 2.30.1 contains a stored DOM cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Resource Locator component, which passes the workflow-persisted cachedResultUrl parameter to window.open() without scheme validation. An attacker with workflow creation/editing privileges can craft a workflow with a malicious (e.g., javascript:) scheme in cachedResultUrl; when a victim opens the crafted workflow and interacts with external links, the payload executes in the victim's browser.
n8n contains a sanitizer bypass vulnerability in the legacy expression evaluator's computed-member handler. An authenticated user with workflow create or modify permissions can craft a malicious expression to bypass the sanitizer and achieve host-level code execution as the n8n process. The legacy expression engine is the default in affected versions. Fixed in n8n 1.123.64, 2.29.8, and 2.30.1.
n8n before 2.29.8 and 2.30.x before 2.30.1 does not enforce shell sandbox restrictions on Linux and Windows in the @n8n/computer-use package (sandboxing was applied only on macOS). Shell commands executed by the tool run without any filesystem or network restrictions, allowing unrestricted access to the host filesystem and network from within the computer-use agent process. This issue only affects deployments where the @n8n/computer-use package is explicitly installed and running; standard n8n installations are not affected.
A vulnerability in n8n versions before 1.123.64 allows sensitive information such as API keys and secrets in custom HTTP headers to be logged in plaintext within workflow execution records. Authenticated users with access to execution data can read and export these exposed credentials from the database. This issue arises from improper masking of credentials in LLM sub-node execution data.
n8n versions before 1.123.64, 2.29.8, and 2.30.1 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability in Enterprise SSO instance-role provisioning. The provisioning path maps an IdP-asserted role claim to an n8n global role but does not prevent assignment of the global:owner role (unlike the token-exchange identity path, which rejects it). An SSO-authenticated user whose instance-role claim resolves to global:owner is provisioned as instance owner, gaining full administrative control over workflows, credentials, users, and instance configuration. Exploitation requires that Enterprise SSO is configured, instance-role provisioning is enabled via N8N_SSO_SCOPES_PROVISION_INSTANCE_ROLE (disabled by default), and the attacker controls the instance-role claim value issued by the IdP.
n8n versions before 2.30.1 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability in the AI Agents feature where the node-execution tool lacks proper authorization checks. A Project Viewer user can escalate privileges by chatting with an agent that has node tools enabled, executing arbitrary nodes and accessing credential secrets without proper authorization verification.
n8n before 2.28.0 (and before 2.27.4 on the 2.27.x branch) registers the DELETE /${restEndpoint}/test-webhook/:id endpoint before authentication middleware is applied, allowing any unauthenticated network caller who knows a workflow ID to cancel that workflow's active test webhook registration. The impact is limited to disrupting in-progress test sessions; production webhooks, persistent workflow state, and stored data are not affected.
n8n versions prior to 1.123.61, 2.27.4, and 2.28.1 contain a vulnerability where an authenticated user with editor access to a shared workflow can access credential-populated headers via the $request object in an HTTP Request node's pagination expression. This exposure allows the user to read and exfiltrate sensitive credentials. The issue is addressed in versions 1.123.61, 2.27.4, and 2.28.1.
n8n, an open source workflow automation platform, contains a prototype pollution vulnerability (CWE-1321) in versions prior to 1.123.61, 2.27.4, and 2.28.1. An authenticated user with the default workflow:create permission can craft workflows that pollute Object.prototype via the workflow API. This pollution can cause unauthenticated requests to be treated as privileged users, exposing user and project listing endpoints. The issue is fixed in versions 1.123.61, 2.27.4, and 2.28.1.
n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to 2.27.4 and from 2.28.0 prior to 2.28.1, n8n instances configured with more than one trusted token-exchange issuer resolved external identities to local accounts using only the JWT sub claim and ignored the iss claim, allowing an attacker with a valid token from one trusted issuer and a sub matching a victim under another issuer to authenticate as that victim. This issue is fixed in versions 2.27.4 and 2.28.1.
n8n versions prior to 2.27.4 and 2.28.1 contain a vulnerability in the AI Agents feature where the Allowed HTTP Request Domains restriction was not enforced on credentials. This flaw allowed a member-level user with use-only access to a shared credential to send the credential's secret to an external server they control. The issue is fixed in versions 2.27.4 and 2.28.1.
n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to 1.123.43, 2.22.1, and 2.20.7, an attacker with write access to the git repository connected to an n8n Source Control configuration could commit a malicious Data Table JSON file containing a crafted column name. When an administrator performed a Source Control Pull, n8n imported the file and could lead to SQL injection on the internal PostgreSQL instance. Exploitation requires the n8n instance uses PostgreSQL as its database backend, the Source Control feature is enabled and connected to a repository the attacker can write to, and an administrator triggers a Source Control Pull. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.123.43, 2.22.1, and 2.20.7.
n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to 1.123.43, 2.22.1, and 2.20.7, an authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows could bypass the patch for CVE-2026-42232 in the XML node. When combined with other nodes, this could lead to RCE on the n8n host. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.123.43, 2.22.1, and 2.20.7.
n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to 1.123.43, 2.22.1, and 2.20.7, an authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows could inject CLI flags on the Git node's Push operation allowing an attacker to read arbitrary files from the n8n server potentially leading to full compromise. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.123.43, 2.22.1, and 2.20.7.
n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to 1.123.43, 2.22.1, and 2.20.7, an authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows could achieve global prototype pollution via an unvalidated pagination parameter in the HTTP Request node. Combined with other techniques this could lead to RCE on the instance. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.123.43, 2.22.1, and 2.20.7.
n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to 1.123.43, 2.22.1, and 2.20.7, the OAuth1 and OAuth2 credential reconnect endpoints authorized access using credential:read rather than credential:update. An authenticated user with read-only access to a shared credential could initiate an OAuth reconnect flow and overwrite the stored token material for that credential with tokens bound to an external account they control. Workflows relying on the affected credential would subsequently execute under the attacker's OAuth identity, enabling data exfiltration to attacker-controlled external services and persistent takeover of shared integrations. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.123.43, 2.22.1, and 2.20.7.
n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to 1.123.48, 2.21.8, and 2.22.4, an authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows containing a Python Code Node could escape the sandbox and achieve arbitrary code execution on the task runner container. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.123.48, 2.21.8, and 2.22.4.
n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to 1.123.48, 2.21.8, and 2.22.4, an authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows could supply a local filesystem path as the source repository in the Git node's Clone operation, or as the target repository in the Push operation, bypassing the N8N_RESTRICT_FILE_ACCESS_TO file sandbox. This allowed the contents of any local git repository accessible to the n8n process to be cloned into an allowed path and read, circumventing the access restrictions that correctly blocked direct file reads to the same paths. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.123.48, 2.21.8, and 2.22.4.
n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to 1.123.55, 2.25.7, and 2.26.1, an authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows and access to a SecurityScorecard credential with limited allowed domains could configure the SecurityScorecard node's report download operation to target an attacker-controlled URL. The node attached the SecurityScorecard API token to the outbound request, causing the credential to be sent to the attacker-controlled host bypassing credential configured limitations and exfiltrating. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.123.55, 2.25.7, and 2.26.1.
n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to 1.123.55, 2.25.7, and 2.26.2, a member-level user with editor access to a shared workflow could reference credentials they do not own via specific public API endpoints. Credential ownership checks were only enforced partially leading to cross-user credential access. This issue affects instances where workflow sharing is enabled and at least one workflow has been shared with a member-level user as an Editor. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.123.55, 2.25.7, and 2.26.2.
