Network-reachable via workflow trigger, requires n8n user credentials (PR:L), no interaction; full OS command execution yields C:H/I:H/A:H within the n8n process scope with no scope change.

4DescriptionCVE.org
n8n versions before 1.123.73, 2.35.4, and 2.36.2 contain a remote code execution vulnerability in the Git node. The node reset a fixed list of command-bearing configuration keys before each operation, but that list did not cover the content-filter and merge-driver key families. A repository with local configuration setting one of those keys together with a matching attribute pattern causes git to execute the configured command during an ordinary Add, Commit, Checkout, or Pull operation. The command runs as the n8n process user.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in n8n's Git node allows an authenticated workflow user to execute arbitrary OS commands as the n8n process user by pointing the node at a repository containing malicious git configuration. The vulnerability arises from an incomplete sanitization list that omitted the content-filter and merge-driver git configuration key families, allowing those keys to survive into git operations and trigger arbitrary command execution during routine Add, Commit, Checkout, or Pull operations. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires three concrete conditions: (1) the attacker holds n8n user-level credentials sufficient to create or modify a workflow containing a Git node (PR:L - not unauthenticated); (2) the Git node is configured to operate on a repository the attacker controls or can write to, specifically its .git/config and .gitattributes files; (3) that repository defines a content-filter or merge-driver configuration key with an attacker-supplied command value and a matching .gitattributes attribute pattern applied to at least one tracked file. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) accurately captures the threat model: the attack is network-reachable and low-complexity, but requires the attacker to hold n8n user-level credentials sufficient to configure Git node workflows, and requires the target repository to carry malicious git configuration (AT:P). … 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 1.123.73 or later on the 1.x branch, 2.35.4 or later on the 2.35.x branch, or 2.36.2 or later on the 2.36.x branch; the patch extends the sanitized key list to include the content-filter and merge-driver configuration key families, preventing their values from reaching git during node operations. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
