Summary

n8n versions before 1.123.64, 2.29.8, and 2.30.1 have a credential exposure vulnerability. When configured with a Google Service Account key, the full PEM private key was mistakenly placed in the JWT header's kid field. Since JWT headers are Base64-encoded, the private key could be recovered by anyone logging or inspecting the JWT.

Risk Assessment

An attacker who obtains the private key can impersonate the Google Service Account and access or modify any Google Cloud resource it is authorized to use.

Recommendation

Immediately upgrade n8n to version 1.123.64, 2.29.8, or 2.30.1, and rotate the Google Service Account keys.

Original NVD description (English source)

n8n versions before 1.123.64, 2.29.8, and 2.30.1 contain a credential exposure vulnerability: when configured with a Google Service Account key, the full PEM private key was mistakenly placed in the JWT header's kid field (intended only for a key identifier). Because JWT headers are Base64-encoded rather than encrypted, the private key could be recovered by anything that logged or inspected the JWT. An attacker who obtained the key could impersonate the service account and access or modify any Google Cloud resource it was authorized to use. Only instances using Google Service Account credentials are affected.
