Summary

Prior to versions 1.123.76, 2.37.7, and 2.38.2 of n8n, the Elasticsearch and ElasticSecurity nodes interpolated workflow-controlled index and document identifiers directly into REST request paths. An identifier containing path separators or dot segments could select another index or a cluster administration endpoint under the stored Elasticsearch credential.

Risk Assessment

Path manipulation may allow access to unauthorized data or administrative operations in the Elasticsearch cluster.

Recommendation

Update n8n to version 1.123.76, 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 1.123.76, 2.37.7, and 2.38.2, the Elasticsearch and ElasticSecurity nodes interpolated workflow-controlled index and document identifiers directly into REST request paths. An identifier containing path separators or dot segments could select another index or a cluster administration endpoint under the stored Elasticsearch credential. The affected request construction includes packages/nodes-base/nodes/Elastic/Elasticsearch/GenericFunctions.ts and the missing toPathSegment encoding. This issue is fixed in versions 1.123.76, 2.37.7 and 2.38.2.
