Exploitation Probability (EPSS)

Low risk
0.26%

17th percentile - higher than 17% of all known CVEs

Summary

n8n versions before 2.36.2 contain an expression sandbox bypass vulnerability where free identifiers in spread, computed-key, switch-case, or class-extension positions resolve against process globals. Authenticated users with workflow-edit permission can mutate host objects through expression evaluation, with changes persisting process-wide until restart.

Risk Assessment

Risk of unauthorized modification of process objects, potentially leading to system integrity compromise and further attacks.

Recommendation

Update n8n to version 2.36.2 or later to mitigate the vulnerability.
