NVD description
n8n before 1.123.69, 2.x before 2.33.4, and 2.34.x before 2.34.1 contains a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) vulnerability in the Filter and Switch nodes, which compile user-supplied regex patterns with new RegExp() and execute them synchronously on the worker thread without complexity validation or execution timeout. A crafted regex pattern can block the worker for an extended period per data item processed, delaying other workflow executions on the same worker.
What to do
- Upgrade n8n to
1.123.69or later (or the patched release of your branch: 2.33.4). - Do not expose the component's API or UI to the internet without authentication in front of it.
