Summary
In n8n before versions 2.30.1 and 2.29.8, all Public API key scopes are assigned to JWTs issued through the Token Exchange module regardless of the user's role. A low-privileged user with a valid external JWT can obtain an access token allowing administrator-only operations, including role escalation, user creation, and deletion, and, if unverified Community Package installation is enabled, remote code execution.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes unauthorized access to administrative functions, privilege escalation, and potential remote code execution, which could lead to full compromise of the n8n instance.
Recommendation
Immediately upgrade n8n to version 2.30.1 or later (or 2.29.8) and consider disabling the Token Exchange and Public API features if not required.
Other vulnerabilities in n8n
See all- 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.
- CVE-2026-103248Critical
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.
Original NVD description (English source)
n8n before 2.30.1 and 2.29.8 assigns all Public API key scopes to JWTs issued through the Token Exchange module regardless of the acting user's role. On instances where the Token Exchange feature and Public API are enabled, a low-privileged user who can obtain a valid external JWT trusted by a configured issuer can use the resulting access token to invoke administrator-only Public API operations such as role escalation, user creation, and user deletion (role escalation requires an Advanced Permissions license), and, when unverified Community Package installation is enabled, achieve remote code execution.
