n8n versions before 1.123.67, 2.31.5, and 2.32.1 contain an arbitrary file write vulnerability in the Edit Image node, which passes its output format parameter to the underlying image library without validation. An authenticated user able to run workflows can supply a crafted format value to write arbitrary files outside the node's working directory on the n8n instance.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary file write in n8n's Edit Image node allows authenticated workflow users to escape the node's designated working directory by injecting unsanitized format parameter values into the underlying image library. All n8n releases before 1.123.67 on the 1.x line, before 2.31.5 on the 2.x line, and before 2.32.1 on the 2.32.x line are affected, as confirmed by the GHSA-xmc9-4f2h-jf9c advisory from the n8n maintainers. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to hold an active n8n account with the ability to create or trigger workflow executions - this is a PR:L (low privilege) requirement, not unauthenticated. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.7 with vector AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:L reflects a real but access-gated threat: exploitation requires authenticated workflow execution rights, elevated attack complexity, and the presence of additional preconditions (AT:P), suggesting this is not trivially mass-exploitable. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | The primary fix is to upgrade n8n to one of the three patched releases: 1.123.67 (1.x series), 2.31.5 (2.x series), or 2.32.1 (2.32.x series), all confirmed by the GHSA-xmc9-4f2h-jf9c advisory and the upstream patch commit at https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/commit/f69dfc6dd2178a14ea1624d2e1d403c2e755042f. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Identify all n8n deployments and versions, then restrict the Edit Image node to administrators only by modifying workflow access controls. …
