Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
n8n before 2.31.5 and before 2.32.1 contain a sandbox escape vulnerability in expression evaluation. An authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows can craft expressions using arrow-function bodies to bypass the expression sandbox, triggering system command execution on the host running n8n. The issue is fixed in versions 2.31.5 and 2.32.1.
AnalysisAI
Expression sandbox escape in n8n's workflow engine allows any authenticated user with workflow creation or modification permissions to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the host running n8n. The flaw, classified as CWE-94 code injection, affects all npm releases of n8n-io/n8n prior to version 2.31.5 and all 2.32.x releases prior to 2.32.1. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires two simultaneous conditions: an authenticated n8n session (CVSS PR:L confirms authentication is mandatory) and explicit permission to create or modify workflows within that session - read-only users or accounts without workflow editor rights cannot trigger the vulnerable code path. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H indicates a high-severity, low-friction exploit path: network-accessible, no attack complexity, no targeted configuration required, and full impact on the vulnerable system. … 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 | Upgrade to n8n 2.31.5 if on the stable branch, or to 2.32.1 if on the 2.32.x branch; these are the two vendor-confirmed fixed versions per GHSA-gv7g-jm28-cr3m and the upstream fix commit f69dfc6dd2178a14ea1624d2e1d403c2e755042f. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Identify and inventory all n8n deployments with their versions; revoke workflow editing access from all non-administrative users as immediate containment; enable monitoring of n8n audit logs for suspicious workflow creation. …
