NVD description
n8n before 1.123.83 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows shared-workflow editors to use credentials they cannot access by embedding them in nested or tool inline sub-workflows. Attackers can save workflows with Workflow Tool or Workflow Retriever inline definitions referencing restricted credentials, which execute using the workflow owner's credential values.
What to do
- Upgrade n8n to
1.123.83or later. - Do not expose the component's API or UI to the internet without authentication in front of it.
