DescriptionCVE.org

n8n's JavaScript task runner shared a single module cache across all users' Code-node executions. In affected versions (before 1.123.67, 2.31.5, and 2.32.1), a user able to run a Code node could poison a cached module and thereby alter other users' Code-node executions on the same runner, affecting their confidentiality, integrity, or availability. This is a cross-user isolation break within a single n8n instance and does not constitute a sandbox escape or remote code execution. Only multi-user instances running the JS task runner with built-in or external modules enabled are affected.

AnalysisAI

Cross-user module cache poisoning in n8n's JavaScript task runner allows an authenticated Code-node user to inject malicious logic into a shared module cache, silently altering other users' workflow executions on the same instance and compromising their data confidentiality, workflow integrity, or execution availability. Affects all multi-user n8n deployments on versions before 1.123.67 (1.x), 2.31.5 (2.31.x), and 2.32.1 (2.32.x) where the JS task runner is active and built-in or external module access is enabled. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires all of the following concurrent conditions: (1) the n8n instance must be operating in a multi-user context with at least two distinct user accounts capable of running Code nodes; (2) the JavaScript task runner must be active and processing Code-node executions; (3) at least one of the environment variables NODE_FUNCTION_ALLOW_BUILTIN or NODE_FUNCTION_ALLOW_EXTERNAL must be explicitly set by an administrator - these are non-default configuration variables that grant module access and are the specific poisonable surface; (4) the attacker must hold a valid authenticated n8n account with permission to create and execute Code nodes (consistent with PR:L in the CVSS vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.8 reflects a moderate aggregate risk, with subsequent-system impacts rated High across confidentiality, integrity, and availability (SC:H/SI:H/SA:H), meaning the blast radius falls on other users' workflow contexts rather than the attacker's own execution environment (VC:N/VI:N/VA:N). … 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 upgrading n8n to version 1.123.67 (for 1.x deployments), 2.31.5 (for 2.31.x deployments), or 2.32.1 (for 2.32.x deployments), as confirmed by the vendor security advisory at https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/security/advisories/GHSA-9cmh-xcqm-5hqr. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
