Network-reachable with low auth (workflow-edit); scope changes because process-wide host mutation impacts all concurrent workflows and users beyond the attacker's own session.

n8n versions before 2.36.2 contain an expression sandbox bypass vulnerability where free identifiers in spread, computed-key, switch-case, or class-extension positions resolve against process globals. Authenticated users with workflow-edit permission can mutate host objects through expression evaluation, with changes persisting process-wide until restart.
AnalysisAI
Expression sandbox bypass in n8n before 2.36.2 allows authenticated workflow editors to escape the sandboxed evaluation environment by placing free identifiers in spread, computed-key, switch-case, or class-extension positions, which resolve against Node.js process globals instead of the restricted sandbox scope. Exploiting this flaw enables mutation of host objects - including prototype chains or environment-level state - with those changes persisting process-wide until the n8n service is restarted, affecting all concurrent workflows and users on the same instance. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid n8n account with workflow-edit permission (create or modify workflows). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:H) reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring low privileges - specifically, a valid account with workflow-edit permission. … 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 n8n to version 2.36.2 or later, as confirmed by the vendor advisory at https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/security/advisories/GHSA-fg85-4wv2-p98j. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify all n8n deployments and current versions (if not already tracked), then restrict workflow editor access to trusted personnel only as interim control. …
