Low-privilege authenticated access required to supply the URL; scope changes because the impact falls on internal systems beyond n8n, with high confidentiality loss from internal service responses.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
n8n before 2.34.1 and 2.33.x before 2.33.4 contains an SSRF protection bypass in the SearXNG Agent tool. The tool sent requests to the user-supplied API URL using a raw HTTP client that did not route through n8n's centralized SSRF protection. On instances with N8N_SSRF_PROTECTION_ENABLED=true, an authenticated user with permission to create SearXNG credentials and configure a personal agent could set the API URL to an internal host, causing the n8n server to connect to that host and return the response content through the Agent chat output.
AnalysisAI
SSRF protection bypass in n8n's SearXNG Agent tool allows authenticated users to reach internal network hosts that the platform's own security controls are supposed to block. Affected versions are n8n before 2.34.1 and 2.33.x before 2.33.4 when deployed with N8N_SSRF_PROTECTION_ENABLED=true. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Three conditions must all be true simultaneously: (1) the n8n instance must be running with the environment variable N8N_SSRF_PROTECTION_ENABLED=true explicitly set - this is a non-default opt-in flag; (2) the attacker must have an authenticated n8n account with permission to create SearXNG-type credentials; and (3) that same account must have permission to create and configure a personal agent. … 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:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:N/SA:N, score 6.3) captures the key tension in this vulnerability: exploitation is network-accessible and low-complexity, but gated behind authenticated low-privilege access (PR:L), which meaningfully limits the attack surface. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated n8n user with credential-creation rights creates a SearXNG credential and sets the API URL to an internal address - for example, http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/ on an AWS-hosted instance or http://internal-db-service:5432. They attach this credential to a personal agent and initiate a chat session; when the agent invokes the SearXNG tool, the n8n server issues an HTTP request directly to the internal address and streams the response back through the chat output, exposing cloud instance metadata, internal API responses, or service banners. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade to n8n 2.34.1 (main line) or 2.33.4 (2.33.x maintenance line), which route the SearXNG tool's HTTP requests through n8n's centralized SSRF protection client, closing the bypass. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
