Summary

In n8n prior to versions 2.27.4 and 2.28.1, when configured with more than one trusted token-exchange issuer, external identities were resolved to local accounts using only the JWT sub claim, ignoring the iss claim. This allowed an attacker with a valid token from one trusted issuer and a sub matching a victim under another issuer to authenticate as that victim.

Risk Assessment

The risk is that an attacker with a valid token from one trusted identity provider, with a sub matching a victim under another provider, can impersonate that victim. This could lead to unauthorized access to workflows and data.

Recommendation

Immediately update n8n to version 2.27.4 or 2.28.1, which fix this vulnerability. If an update is not possible, temporarily limit the number of trusted token-exchange issuers to one.

Original NVD description (English source)

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.
