n8n: Credential Exfiltration via Permission Bypass
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Impact
A member-level user with editor access to a shared workflow could reference credentials they do not own via specific public API endpoints. Credential ownership checks were only enforced partially leading to cross-user credential access.
This issue affects instances where workflow sharing is enabled and at least one workflow has been shared with a member-level user as an Editor.
## Patches
The issue has been fixed in n8n versions 1.123.55, 2.25.7, and 2.26.2. Users should upgrade to one of these versions or later to remediate the vulnerability.
## Workarounds
If upgrading is not immediately possible, administrators should consider the following temporary mitigations:
- Restrict workflow sharing to fully trusted users only.
- Audit shared workflows for unexpected credential references or recent modifications.
These workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.
