HighCVSS 8.8
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Exploitation Probability (EPSS)

Low risk
0.39%

33th percentile - higher than 33% of all known CVEs

Summary

n8n versions before 1.123.73, 2.35.4, and 2.36.2 contain an expression sandbox escape in the $fromAI handler. An attacker with workflow-build privilege can walk the prototype chain to the Function constructor and execute arbitrary code in the main n8n process, leading to remote code execution.

Risk Assessment

Risk of remote code execution in the main n8n process, potentially leading to full server compromise and data breach.

Recommendation

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

Original NVD description (English source)

n8n versions before 1.123.73, 2.35.4, and 2.36.2 contain an expression sandbox escape in the $fromAI handler. $fromAI resolved a caller-supplied placeholder name without requiring it to be an own property and admitted reserved keys; against a primitive input value it returned a live host-prototype reference. An attacker with workflow-build privilege can walk the prototype chain to the Function constructor and compile/execute arbitrary code in the main n8n process, leading to remote code execution.
