CVE-2026-72763

Estado: AnalizadaAlta (7.2)—

n8n before 1.123.67, 2.31.5, and 2.32.1 validates credential-access only for a node's top-level credentials and not for credentials referenced inside an Execute Sub-workflow node's inline workflow JSON. A member with Editor access to a shared workflow (when workflow sharing is enabled) who knows a target credential's ID can reference that credential in the inline JSON; it passes save-time and runtime validation and resolves in the parent workflow's project context, allowing the attacker to use or exfiltrate credentials they are not permitted to access.

Vulnerabilidad en n8n que permite a usuarios con acceso Editor referenciar credenciales no autorizadas mediante JSON en nodos de sub-workflow, obteniendo acceso a credenciales y tokens (CWE-639: autorización impropia; PR:L requiere privilegios locales mínimos; contexto de red remota: T1210).

Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
