CVE-2026-72766
n8n before 1.123.67, 2.x before 2.31.5, and 2.32.x before 2.32.1 contain a type confusion vulnerability in the Send Email node, which does not enforce that its message fields are strings. A crafted non-string value supplied from a workflow expression into the text or HTML body field can be interpreted by the underlying mail library (Nodemailer) as a file path or URL, allowing arbitrary local file disclosure and server-side request forgery (SSRF). Exploitation requires a pre-existing active workflow with an unauthenticated webhook, valid SMTP credentials configured on the node, and untrusted input mapped directly into the body field; this is not a default configuration.
CVSS
- Versión: 4.0

T1190Exploit Public-Facing Applicationinitial access75 % - Impacto principal
T1005Data from Local Systemcollection85 % - Impacto secundario
T1090.004Domain Frontingcommand and control80 %
Acceso remoto sin autenticación (AV:N, PR:N) a través de webhook expuesto en n8n. La vulnerabilidad permite lectura de archivos locales (file disclosure) y SSRF mediante confusión de tipos en Nodemailer.
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.
