Summary
n8n versions 0.123.1 through 1.119.1 lack adequate protections to prevent RCE through the project's pre-commit hooks. The Add Config operation allows workflows to set arbitrary Git configuration values, including core.hooksPath, which can point to a malicious Git hook that executes arbitrary commands on the n8n host during subsequent Git operations.
Risk Assessment
An attacker able to create or modify n8n workflows can execute arbitrary code on the host, leading to full system compromise.
Recommendation
Update n8n to version 1.119.2. As a workaround, exclude the Git node and avoid cloning or interacting with untrusted repositories using the Git node.
Other vulnerabilities in n8n
See all- CVE-2026-119408High
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.
- CVE-2026-103260Medium
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.
- CVE-2026-103257High
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.
- CVE-2026-103256High
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.
- CVE-2026-103253High
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.
- CVE-2026-103252High
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.
- CVE-2026-103249High
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.
- CVE-2026-103245Medium
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.
- CVE-2026-42232High
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.
- CVE-2026-103255Critical
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.
Original NVD description (English source)
n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Versions 0.123.1 through 1.119.1 do not have adequate protections to prevent RCE through the project's pre-commit hooks. The Add Config operation allows workflows to set arbitrary Git configuration values, including core.hooksPath, which can point to a malicious Git hook that executes arbitrary commands on the n8n host during subsequent Git operations. Exploitation requires the ability to create or modify an n8n workflow using the Git node. This issue is fixed in version 1.119.2. Workarounds include excluding the Git Node (Docs) and avoiding cloning or interacting with untrusted repositories using the Git Node.
