n8n vulnerabilities

n8n before 2.42.6, 2.43.x before 2.43.3, and 3.x before 3.0.1 contains a remote code execution vulnerability via deprecated Function, Function Item, and LangChain Code nodes running outside task runner isolation. Authenticated users who can create, modify, or import workflows naming these hidden node types can execute JavaScript in the n8n main process.

n8n versions before 2.39.6 and 2.40.0 before 2.40.1 contain an approval bypass vulnerability in the Send and Wait node's Approve Within Chat mode. Attackers can submit resume requests without verification of the requester's identity or approval permissions, allowing unauthenticated users to advance waiting executions and trigger guarded actions.

n8n versions before 1.123.80, from 2.0.0 before 2.39.6, and from 2.40.0 before 2.40.1 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the n8n node that fails to validate resource identifiers. Attackers can craft malicious resource IDs to redirect API calls to unintended resources, allowing unauthorized access to workflows, executions, and credential secrets within the API key's scope.

n8n versions before 2.39.6 and 2.40.0 before 2.40.1 contain a credentials leak vulnerability in the Wekan and Baserow username-and-password credentials that sends unencrypted passwords to unvalidated hosts. Attackers with credential update permissions can modify the host field to receive account passwords at arbitrary hosts, bypassing domain validation controls.

n8n versions before 1.123.80, from 2.0.0 before 2.39.6, and from 2.40.0 before 2.40.1 contain an SQL injection vulnerability in the Oracle Database node's Delete Table Drop operation. Attackers can inject single quotes in the table or schema fields to append arbitrary SQL statements and execute DDL or DML commands against the connected database with the credential's privileges.

n8n versions before 1.123.80, from 2.0.0 before 2.39.6, and from 2.40.0 before 2.40.1 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the credential test endpoint that resolves project-scoped variables without validating caller access. Attackers can specify an arbitrary project ID in the request body to interpolate sensitive variables into credential test requests sent to attacker-controlled hosts for exfiltration.

n8n versions before 1.123.80, from 2.0.0 before 2.39.6, and from 2.40.0 before 2.40.1 contain a stored DOM cross-site scripting vulnerability in Resource Locator parameter dropdown link handling. Workflow authors can inject malicious script URLs that execute arbitrary JavaScript in the editor origin when other users open the node dropdown and click the external-link icon, with the payload persisting across workflow imports and shares.

n8n versions before 1.123.80, from 2.0.0 before 2.39.6, and from 2.40.0 before 2.40.1 fail to verify the x-webflow-signature HMAC in the Webflow Trigger node webhook handler. Unauthenticated attackers can send forged webhook requests with attacker-controlled payloads to trigger workflows and manipulate downstream actions like record creation or API calls.

n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to versions 1.123.32, 2.17.4, and 2.18.1, an authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows could achieve global prototype pollution via the XML Node leading to RCE when combined with other nodes exploiting the prototype pollution. This issue has been patched in versions 1.123.32, 2.17.4, and 2.18.1.

n8n versions before 1.123.80, from 2.0.0 before 2.39.6, and from 2.40.0 before 2.40.1 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the Supabase node where the tableId parameter is inserted into request paths without validation. Attackers can exploit workflows binding tableId to untrusted input to traverse to Auth and Storage APIs using the administrative serviceRole key, bypassing Row Level Security and enabling unauthorized data access and modification.

n8n versions before 1.123.80, from 2.0.0 before 2.39.6, and from 2.40.0 before 2.40.1 contain a filter injection vulnerability in the Supabase node's Filters (String) mode that fails to escape field values. Attackers can inject filter expressions from untrusted input to read all table rows, update all records, or delete entire tables in a single request.

n8n versions before 2.36.2 contain an expression sandbox bypass vulnerability where free identifiers in spread, computed-key, switch-case, or class-extension positions resolve against process globals. Authenticated users with workflow-edit permission can mutate host objects through expression evaluation, with changes persisting process-wide until restart.

n8n before 1.123.69, 2.33.4, and 2.34.1 contains a PostgREST filter injection vulnerability in the Supabase node's Row Get Many, Delete, and Update operations, which built filter queries by concatenating an expression-bindable value without escaping. An attacker could inject a condition that widened the filter to match every row, turning an intended single-row operation into full-table disclosure, deletion, or modification.

n8n before 1.123.69, 2.33.4, and 2.34.1 contains a NoSQL injection vulnerability in the MongoDB node's Find, Delete, and Aggregate operations, which parse the Query parameter as JSON after expression resolution without sanitizing MongoDB operators. An attacker who can influence the resolved query (e.g., via externally-controlled data) can inject operators such as $ne or $where, turning an intended single-document lookup into full-collection disclosure, full-collection deletion, or other operations on the database server.

Vulnerability in n8n before versions 2.31.5 and 2.32.1 allows a sandbox escape in expression evaluation. An authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows can craft expressions using arrow-function bodies to bypass the expression sandbox, triggering system command execution on the host running n8n. The issue is fixed in versions 2.31.5 and 2.32.1.

In n8n before 2.29.8 and 2.30.x before 2.30.1, the @n8n/computer-use package does not enforce shell sandbox restrictions on Linux and Windows (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.

n8n versions before 2.20.0 contain a credential exfiltration vulnerability in the POST /rest/dynamic-node-parameters/options endpoint that allows authenticated users to bypass Allowed HTTP Request Domains restrictions. Attackers with credential access can cause the n8n server to issue HTTP requests with credentials to unauthorized hosts.

n8n is a workflow automation platform that prior to versions 1.123.32, 2.17.4, and 2.18.1 was vulnerable to an unauthenticated attacker registering a malicious OAuth client. After authorization by the victim, a malicious script could be executed in the victim's browser session.

In n8n, an open source workflow automation platform, additional expression evaluation vulnerabilities have been found. An authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows can abuse crafted expressions to trigger unintended system command execution on the host.

In n8n versions 0.121.2 and below, an authenticated attacker may be able to execute malicious code using the n8n service. This could result in full compromise and can impact both self-hosted and n8n Cloud instances. This issue is fixed in version 1.121.3. Administrators can reduce exposure by disabling the Git node and limiting access for untrusted users, but upgrading to the latest version is recommended.

In n8n versions starting with 1.65.0 and below 1.121.0, an attacker can access files on the underlying server through execution of certain form-based workflows. A vulnerable workflow could grant access to an unauthenticated remote attacker, resulting in exposure of sensitive information stored on the system and may enable further compromise depending on deployment configuration and workflow usage. This issue is fixed in version 1.121.0.

n8n from version 1.0.0 to before 2.0.0 has a sandbox bypass vulnerability in the Python Code Node that uses Pyodide. An authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows can exploit this to execute arbitrary commands on the host system running n8n, using the same privileges as the n8n process.

n8n from 2.14.0 through 2.46.3 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the Databricks node that allows unauthenticated attackers to reach arbitrary Databricks API endpoints by injecting unencoded resource identifiers. Attackers can supply ../ sequences and query strings via webhook, chat, or form inputs mapped to spaceId, indexName, or filePath to read secrets using the stored credential.

n8n before 1.123.83, 2.41.4, and 2.42.1 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the Slack Trigger webhook. When no signing secret is set, an unauthenticated attacker can bypass signature verification and cause the workspace access token to be sent to an attacker-controlled host.

n8n before 2.41.4 and 2.42.x before 2.42.1 contains a prototype pollution vulnerability. Low-privileged users can save workflows with specially named connection keys such as __proto__, causing logins and writes to fail with server errors.

n8n before 2.41.4 and 2.42.x before 2.42.1 contains a missing confirmation vulnerability in the Local Gateway desktop app that allows its deep-link connect handler to silently re-pair the app with a different n8n instance. Attackers can lure users running the Local Gateway into opening a crafted n8n-computer-use:// link to connect their computer to an attacker-controlled instance, inheriting previously granted permissions and acting on the computer through the gateway.

n8n before 1.123.85, 2.43.5, and 2.44.1 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability. Member users can use credentials they cannot access by omitting default node parameters, causing decrypted credential values to be sent to attacker-chosen destinations.

n8n before 1.123.85, 2.43.5, and 2.44.1 contains a credential guard bypass vulnerability. Editors of shared workflows can use restricted credentials by loading sub-workflows from URLs or local files, allowing decrypted project credential values to be obtained.

n8n before 2.43.5 and 2.44.x before 2.44.1 accepts a client-supplied workflow ID and caches each workflow's owner project in memory by that ID. A crafted ID such as __proto__ makes the Data Table project check match every project, allowing an authenticated member to list, read, modify, and delete Data Table rows in all projects of the instance.

n8n before 1.123.85, 2.x before 2.43.5, and 2.44.x before 2.44.1 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability. Some webhook response paths, such as error responses and responses without headers, omit the sandbox Content-Security-Policy, allowing authenticated members to serve HTML that runs on the n8n origin.

n8n before 1.123.85, 2.x before 2.43.5, and 2.44.x before 2.44.1 saves the SeaTable Trigger node's API token in error execution data because failed poll requests store raw request headers. Users who can view workflow executions but cannot read the credential can recover the token and access the connected SeaTable base.

n8n before 1.123.85, 2.43.5, and 2.44.1 contains a regular expression denial of service vulnerability. Authenticated members can create and run workflows with wildcard-heavy File(s) Selector glob patterns that cause exponential backtracking and block the event loop.

n8n before 1.123.85, 2.x before 2.43.5, and 2.44.x before 2.44.1 contains a filter injection vulnerability in the Quick Base node, which sends the Where filter to the Quick Base API as raw query text. Attackers supplying untrusted input such as webhook data used to build the filter can make Get Many return every record or Delete remove every record with the workflow credential's privileges.

n8n before 2.41.5 and 2.42.x before 2.42.2 passes a failed workflow's full execution context, including the identity of the user who started the run, to the configured error workflow. A project editor can set a colleague's workflow settings.errorWorkflow to an error workflow they own, inherit the colleague's identity when that workflow fails, and resolve the colleague's per-user dynamic credential secrets.

n8n before 1.123.85, 2.x before 2.43.5, and 2.44.x before 2.44.1 stores credential secrets in execution error data when operations fail in the Git, MongoDB Atlas Vector Store, and Google Cloud Storage nodes. Users who can view a workflow's executions but cannot read the credential can recover Git passwords or tokens, MongoDB database passwords, or Google access tokens from that data.

n8n before 1.123.85, 2.43.5, and 2.44.1 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows authenticated members to use inaccessible credentials through inline sub-workflow nodes with non-boolean disabled values. Attackers knowing a credential id can run Execute Workflow nodes in inline JSON mode that skip the permission check and send decrypted credentials to attacker-controlled servers.

n8n before 1.123.85, 2.x before 2.43.5, and 2.44.x before 2.44.1 contains an OData $filter injection vulnerability in the Microsoft Outlook contact lookup and Microsoft SharePoint v1 item update nodes, which build $filter string literals from expression-bindable parameters without escaping. Attackers who supply untrusted input to such workflows can inject single quotes to dump the bound mailbox's entire contact list or redirect SharePoint writes onto unintended list items within the stored credential's scope.

n8n before 1.123.85, 2.43.5, and 2.44.1 contains an authorization bypass in Chat Hub. Users with the global:chatUser role can register restricted tool types and run them via chat to execute sandboxed code, access permitted files, and use instance workflows, Data Tables, and agents.

n8n before 1.123.83 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows authenticated members to spoof workflow identity by supplying a trusted identifier in Execute Sub-workflow inline JSON mode. Attackers can set this identifier to resolve credentials from projects they do not belong to and modify another workflow's static data and error-workflow dispatch.

n8n before 1.123.83, 2.x before 2.41.4, and 2.42.x before 2.42.1 contains an authentication bypass because dynamic-path webhook resolution matched requests on the path alone, ignoring the server-generated identifier that is the URL's only unguessable component. Unauthenticated attackers can omit this identifier in requests to webhook, form, or MCP routes to execute workflows in unrelated projects under those projects' credentials.

n8n before 2.41.4 and 2.42.x before 2.42.1 contains an authorization bypass in the Agents create endpoint, which accepts a caller-supplied Agent ID, checks permissions only against the requested project, and updates an existing Agent without verifying which project owns it. An authenticated user with read-only Agent access to another project can supply an existing Agent ID to move that Agent into their own project and rewrite its name, schema and version.

n8n before 2.41.4 and 2.42.0 before 2.42.1 does not validate credential ids stored in agent node parameters when an editor saves a shared workflow, because the check inspects only a node's credentials field. An editor can configure a Message an Agent node in inline mode with tools they control to resolve the owner's credentials and send decrypted secrets to an attacker-chosen destination.

n8n before 1.123.83, 2.41.4, and 2.42.1 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the file-preview modal, which re-publishes binary data as an unsandboxed same-origin blob URL. A member who uploads a crafted item can run script in the n8n origin of whoever previews it, typically the owner, and act with their session.

n8n before 1.123.83, 2.x before 2.41.4, and 2.42.x before 2.42.1 contains a prototype pollution vulnerability in the AI workflow builder, which merges workflow connections using node names as object members without checking for reserved keys. Authenticated users can create nodes named __proto__ through the API and invoke the connect-nodes operation to pollute the global object prototype, disrupting the instance until restart.

n8n before 1.123.83, 2.x before 2.41.4, and 2.42.x before 2.42.1 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Chat Trigger hosted-chat page, where insufficiently sanitised customCss values are interpolated into the page as markup. Workflow authors can publish a chat without n8n user authentication whose payload executes on the instance origin, acting on the sessions of signed-in visitors.

n8n before 2.41.4 and 2.42.x before 2.42.1 contains a signature bypass in the waiting-webhook endpoint, which selects Send-and-Wait validation before normalising an alternate node reference form. Attackers holding an execution's resume token can approve waiting executions meant for others, running downstream actions under the workflow owner's credentials, potentially including command execution.

n8n before 1.123.83, 2.x before 2.41.4, and 2.42.x before 2.42.1 contains a code execution vulnerability in the Git node Log operation, which fails to strip a repository's local git configuration before invoking an external program. Authenticated members who can point the node, including as an agent tool, at a repository whose local configuration they control can execute programs as the n8n process user.

n8n before 1.123.83 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows shared-workflow editors to use credentials they cannot access by embedding them in nested or tool inline sub-workflows. Attackers can save workflows with Workflow Tool or Workflow Retriever inline definitions referencing restricted credentials, which execute using the workflow owner's credential values.

n8n before 2.41.4 and 2.42.x before 2.42.1 contains an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in the unauthenticated OAuth authorize endpoint, which resolves clients by URL path but stores the caller's raw identifier as the record key. Unauthenticated attackers can send identifiers differing only in their query string to create unlimited first-party client records that bypass the registration cap, growing the database until the disk fills.

n8n before 2.41.4 and 2.42.x before 2.42.1 contains a prototype pollution vulnerability in the MCP workflow-validation tool, whose interpreter evaluates caller-supplied code in the main process, reads inherited properties, and permits assignment onto shared prototypes. An authenticated member holding only a workflow:read grant can replace a built-in method with one returning a truthy value so server-side permission checks accept unheld scopes, enabling takeover of owner accounts not protected by MFA.
