CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The vulnerability allows authenticated users with edit access to shared workflows in n8n to bypass credential authorization, enabling them to access and potentially exfiltrate another user's credentials. This occurs due to a flaw in the pre-execution permission check, which fails to validate the resolved credential type. Organizations using n8n versions prior to 1.123.67, 2.31.5, and 2.32.1 should prioritize patching this issue to mitigate the risk of unauthorized credential access.

Original NVD Description

n8n before 1.123.67, 2.31.5, and 2.32.1 contains a credential authorization bypass in the HTTP Request node. An authenticated member with edit access to a shared workflow can reference another user's credential while specifying the credential type via an expression. Because the pre-execution permission check compares the unresolved expression instead of the resolved credential type, the ownership check is skipped and the credential is loaded at execution time, allowing the member to use or exfiltrate a credential they were not granted. Exploitation requires knowing the target credential's identifier.
