Summary

Privilege escalation vulnerability in n8n before versions 1.123.64, 2.29.8, and 2.30.1 in Enterprise SSO. An attacker can obtain the global:owner role, gaining full administrative control.

Risk Assessment

Risk of full takeover of the n8n instance, including access to workflows, credentials, users, and configuration.

Recommendation

Upgrade n8n to version 1.123.64, 2.29.8, or 2.30.1. Disable N8N_SSO_SCOPES_PROVISION_INSTANCE_ROLE if not required.

Original NVD description (English source)

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.
