Summary

In n8n before versions 1.123.76, 2.37.7, and 2.38.2, the expression compiler sanitizer resolved through dynamically scoped this and did not reject reserved class member names. A class field named __sanitize could rebind the sanitizer and reach the Function constructor, enabling backend code execution and editor-preview JavaScript execution.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated user can achieve remote code execution on the n8n server, potentially leading to full system and data compromise.

Recommendation

Update n8n to version 1.123.76, 2.37.7, or 2.38.2 or later to fix the vulnerability.
