CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The n8n workflow automation platform is vulnerable due to improper validation of credential test URLs in the Instance AI setup flow, allowing attackers to manipulate requests and potentially redirect authenticated traffic to unauthorized origins. This could lead to unauthorized access or data exposure if exploited. Organizations using versions prior to 2.37.7 and 2.38.2 should prioritize updating their installations to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description

n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to 2.37.7 and 2.38.2, the Instance AI credential setup flow accepted a credential test or verification URL without checking that it matched the workflow node's origin. Attacker-controlled fetched content could influence that URL after a user injected it into the setup flow, causing authenticated requests, redirects, or probes to reach another origin. The affected logic includes packages/@n8n/instance-ai/src/tools/workflows/credential-utils.ts and the extractServiceOrigin origin derivation. This issue is fixed in versions 2.37.7 and 2.38.2.
