Summary

Prior to versions 2.37.7 and 2.38.2 of n8n, the Instance AI workflow summary used node names and connection keys from stored workflows as ordinary object keys. A workflow submitted through the REST API could contain __proto__ or constructor, causing nested writes to reach Object.prototype in the main n8n process and disrupt later requests.

Risk Assessment

Prototype pollution may lead to unexpected application behavior and, in extreme cases, remote code execution.

Recommendation

Update n8n to version 2.37.7 or 2.38.2 (or later) to fix the issue.

Original NVD description (English source)

n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to 2.37.7 and 2.38.2, the Instance AI workflow summary used node names and connection keys from stored workflows as ordinary object keys. A workflow submitted through the REST API could contain __proto__ or constructor, causing nested writes to reach Object.prototype in the main n8n process and disrupt later requests. The affected function is summarizeWorkflowStructure in packages/@n8n/instance-ai/src/tools/workflows/summarize-workflow.ts. This issue is fixed in versions 2.37.7 and 2.38.2.
