CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

A sandbox escape vulnerability in n8n allows authenticated users with workflow modification permissions to execute arbitrary system commands on the host by crafting specific expressions. This poses a high risk, as it can lead to unauthorized access and control over the system. Organizations using n8n prior to versions 2.31.5 and 2.32.1 should prioritize updating their installations to mitigate this critical security threat.

Original NVD Description

n8n before 2.31.5 and before 2.32.1 contain a sandbox escape vulnerability in expression evaluation. An authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows can craft expressions using arrow-function bodies to bypass the expression sandbox, triggering system command execution on the host running n8n. The issue is fixed in versions 2.31.5 and 2.32.1.
