Summary

n8n, an open source workflow automation platform, prior to versions 1.123.76, 2.37.7, and 2.38.2 had a vulnerability in the Git node. The setUpstream function wrote a branch..remote value into repository configuration without validation, and a later fetch or pull used that configuration instead of the checked parameter. An authenticated workflow editor could point Git at any local repository readable by the n8n process and receive its contents.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with workflow editor privileges could access local system files, potentially leading to sensitive data disclosure.

Recommendation

Upgrade n8n to version 1.123.76, 2.37.7, or 2.38.2, which contain the fix.

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 Git node validated the repository parameter for fetch or pull, but setUpstream wrote a branch..remote value into repository configuration without validating it. A later fetch or pull resolved the remote from that configuration instead of the checked parameter. An authenticated workflow editor could therefore point Git at any local repository readable by the n8n process and receive its contents through packages/nodes-base/nodes/Git/GenericFunctions.ts. This issue is fixed in versions 1.123.76, 2.37.7 and 2.38.2.
