Exploitation Probability (EPSS)

Low risk
0.37%

30th percentile - higher than 30% of all known CVEs

Summary

n8n versions before 1.123.73, 2.35.4, and 2.36.2 contain a remote code execution vulnerability in the Git node. The node resets a fixed list of command-bearing configuration keys before each operation, but that list does not cover the content-filter and merge-driver key families. A repository with local configuration setting one of those keys together with a matching attribute pattern causes git to execute the configured command during an ordinary Add, Commit, Checkout, or Pull operation, running as the n8n process user.

Risk Assessment

Risk of remote code execution in the context of the n8n process user, potentially leading to unauthorized system and data access.

Recommendation

Update n8n to version 1.123.73, 2.35.4, or 2.36.2 or later to mitigate the vulnerability.
