CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The vulnerability affects the n8n open-source workflow automation platform, specifically prior to versions 1.123.76, 2.37.7, and 2.38.2, allowing attackers to exploit the expression compiler sanitizer. By using a reserved class member name, such as __sanitize, an attacker could rebind the sanitizer, leading to potential backend code execution and unauthorized JavaScript execution in the editor preview. Organizations utilizing n8n should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of exploitation.

Original NVD Description

n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to 1.123.76, 2.37.7, and 2.38.2, the expression compiler sanitizer resolved through dynamically scoped this and did not reject reserved class member names. A class field named __sanitize could rebind the sanitizer and reach the Function constructor, enabling backend code execution and editor-preview JavaScript execution. The affected AST hook is PrototypeSanitizer in packages/workflow/src/expression-sandboxing.ts. This issue is fixed in versions 1.123.76, 2.37.7 and 2.38.2.
