Summary

In n8n, an open source workflow automation platform, prior to versions 2.37.7 and 2.38.1, the OAuth token endpoint bound an authorization code's first access token to the consented resource but did not bind its refresh token. Refreshing checked only that the requested resource was registered, not that it matched the original grant. An OAuth client approved for one workflow could substitute a different workflow URL in the resource parameter and obtain a valid token for an unapproved workflow accessible to the consenting user. This issue is fixed in versions 2.37.7 and 2.38.1.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability allows unauthorized access to workflows that were not approved for a given OAuth client, potentially leading to exposure of sensitive data or unauthorized actions in automations.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update n8n to version 2.37.7 or 2.38.1 (or later) to eliminate the vulnerability. Also review existing OAuth authorizations for misconfigurations.
