DescriptionCVE.org

n8n before 1.123.69 (and 2.x before 2.33.4 / 2.34.1) contains a code execution vulnerability in the Git node. The Git node executed certain repository-local git configuration values without neutralizing them, so any subsequent Git node operation against a repository containing a malicious value would execute it as the n8n process user. This is not reachable through the Git node's own configuration controls and requires a separate file-write vulnerability elsewhere to plant the malicious value.

AnalysisAI

Code execution in n8n's Git node (all 1.x releases before 1.123.69, all 2.x releases before 2.33.4 and 2.34.1) allows an authenticated attacker who can also plant files on the n8n host to run arbitrary OS commands as the n8n process user. The Git node passes repository-local git configuration values directly to execution without neutralization, satisfying CWE-78 (OS Command Injection); triggering any Git node operation against a repository whose config has been poisoned fires the injected command automatically. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Authenticate to n8n with low-privilege credentials
Delivery
Exploit separate file-write primitive in n8n or underlying host
Exploit
Plant malicious git config value (e.g., core.fsmonitor hook) in target repository
Execution
Trigger Git node workflow operation against poisoned repository
Persist
n8n git process executes injected OS command as process user

Arbitrary code execution achieved

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires two chained prerequisites to both be satisfied. … 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:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H correctly reflects the dual nature of this vulnerability: the AT:P (Attack Requirements: Present) metric acknowledges that a specific pre-condition - a malicious git config value planted by a separate file-write primitive - must be satisfied before the OS injection fires, meaningfully elevating real-world exploitation complexity beyond the headline impact metrics alone. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with authenticated n8n access and an existing file-write primitive (e.g., via a second n8n node vulnerability or an overly permissive workflow that writes to the filesystem) writes a malicious `core.fsmonitor` or `core.hooksPath` entry into a target repository's `.git/config`. When any subsequent n8n Git node operation - such as a pull, fetch, or status check - is triggered against that repository, git invokes the injected command as the n8n service account, granting full arbitrary code execution. …
Remediation Upgrade n8n to version 1.123.69 (1.x branch) or to 2.33.4 / 2.34.1 (2.x branch) as documented in vendor advisory GHSA-m87g-qr43-ccvc at https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/security/advisories/GHSA-m87g-qr43-ccvc. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
