The vulnerability affects n8n versions prior to 2.35.4 and 2.36.x before 2.36.2, specifically in the Elasticsearch Document Get All and Google Cloud Firestore Document Query operations. It allows for query injection due to improper handling of user input, potentially enabling an attacker to escalate a single-document lookup into a full-collection read, leading to unauthorized data exposure. Organizations using affected n8n versions should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of data breaches.

Original NVD Description

n8n before 2.35.4 and 2.36.x before 2.36.2 contain a query injection vulnerability in the Elasticsearch Document Get All and Google Cloud Firestore Document Query operations, which build their JSON query by interpolating expression values directly into the query string before parsing. A value containing quote and brace characters can close the intended field and introduce new query operators, turning an intended single-document lookup into a full-collection read.
