Network vector with low privileges (PR:L); AC:H reflects the AT:P precondition (credential ID must be known); scope changes (S:C) because stolen credentials compromise downstream external systems; no availability impact.

n8n before 1.123.67, 2.31.5, and 2.32.1 contains a credential authorization bypass in the HTTP Request node. An authenticated member with edit access to a shared workflow can reference another user's credential while specifying the credential type via an expression. Because the pre-execution permission check compares the unresolved expression instead of the resolved credential type, the ownership check is skipped and the credential is loaded at execution time, allowing the member to use or exfiltrate a credential they were not granted. Exploitation requires knowing the target credential's identifier.
AnalysisAI
Credential authorization bypass in n8n's HTTP Request node allows an authenticated member with edit access to a shared workflow to silently exfiltrate or use another user's credential by setting the credential type field via a dynamic expression. The pre-execution permission check evaluates the unresolved expression string rather than its runtime-resolved value, causing the ownership check to be skipped entirely while the actual credential is loaded at execution time. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated n8n account with at least member-level access and edit permissions on at least one shared workflow - unauthenticated attackers cannot trigger this vulnerability. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector scores 7.1, reflecting network reachability (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), a specific attack prerequisite (AT:P - the attacker must know the target credential identifier), low-privilege authentication (PR:L), and no user interaction. … 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 remediation is to upgrade n8n to version 1.123.67 (for 1.x deployments), 2.31.5 (for 2.x deployments on the pre-2.32.0 branch), or 2.32.1 (for 2.32.x deployments), as confirmed by the vendor advisory GHSA-6qc9-mqvw-jg7x and the upstream patch commit at https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/commit/f69dfc6dd2178a14ea1624d2e1d403c2e755042f. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
