CVE-2026-85166

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.

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.

n8n before 1.123.69, 2.33.4, and 2.34.1 contains a PostgREST filter injection vulnerability in the Supabase node's Row Get Many, Delete, and Update operations, which built filter queries by concatenating an expression-bindable value without escaping. An attacker could inject a condition that widened the filter to match every row, turning an intended single-row operation into full-table disclosure, deletion, or modification.

n8n before 1.123.69, 2.33.4, and 2.34.1 contains a NoSQL injection vulnerability in the MongoDB node's Find, Delete, and Aggregate operations, which parse the Query parameter as JSON after expression resolution without sanitizing MongoDB operators. An attacker who can influence the resolved query (e.g., via externally-controlled data) can inject operators such as $ne or $where, turning an intended single-document lookup into full-collection disclosure, full-collection deletion, or other operations on the database server.

Vulnerability in n8n before versions 2.31.5 and 2.32.1 allows a sandbox escape in expression evaluation. An authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows can craft expressions using arrow-function bodies to bypass the expression sandbox, triggering system command execution on the host running n8n. The issue is fixed in versions 2.31.5 and 2.32.1.

In n8n before 2.29.8 and 2.30.x before 2.30.1, the @n8n/computer-use package does not enforce shell sandbox restrictions on Linux and Windows (sandboxing was applied only on macOS). Shell commands executed by the tool run without any filesystem or network restrictions, allowing unrestricted access to the host filesystem and network from within the computer-use agent process. This issue only affects deployments where the @n8n/computer-use package is explicitly installed and running; standard n8n installations are not affected.

n8n versions before 2.20.0 contain a credential exfiltration vulnerability in the POST /rest/dynamic-node-parameters/options endpoint that allows authenticated users to bypass Allowed HTTP Request Domains restrictions. Attackers with credential access can cause the n8n server to issue HTTP requests with credentials to unauthorized hosts.

n8n is a workflow automation platform that prior to versions 1.123.32, 2.17.4, and 2.18.1 was vulnerable to an unauthenticated attacker registering a malicious OAuth client. After authorization by the victim, a malicious script could be executed in the victim's browser session.

In n8n, an open source workflow automation platform, additional expression evaluation vulnerabilities have been found. An authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows can abuse crafted expressions to trigger unintended system command execution on the host.

In n8n versions 0.121.2 and below, an authenticated attacker may be able to execute malicious code using the n8n service. This could result in full compromise and can impact both self-hosted and n8n Cloud instances. This issue is fixed in version 1.121.3. Administrators can reduce exposure by disabling the Git node and limiting access for untrusted users, but upgrading to the latest version is recommended.
