DescriptionCVE.org

n8n versions before 1.123.73, 2.35.4, and 2.36.2 pass message content in the Gmail (v1) and Brevo nodes to the mail composer without verifying it is a string. An authenticated user able to run a workflow can supply an expression that resolves to an object carrying a path or href property, causing the composer to read a local file accessible to the n8n process or fetch an internal URL (SSRF) and attach the result to the outgoing message.

AnalysisAI

Local file read and server-side request forgery (SSRF) in n8n's Gmail (v1) and Brevo workflow nodes allow an authenticated low-privilege user to exfiltrate files accessible to the n8n process or probe internal network endpoints by supplying a crafted expression that resolves to a JavaScript object with a path or href property. Affected versions span the stable branch before 1.123.73 and the 2.x branch before 2.35.4 and 2.36.2, as confirmed by vendor advisory GHSA-95ph-833c-4wrp. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated n8n user account with permission to create and execute workflows - specifically, the ability to set expression-evaluated fields in the Gmail (v1) or Brevo nodes. … 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:H) reflects that exploitation requires only a valid n8n account with workflow execution rights - a low bar in collaborative or multi-tenant deployments. … 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 (stable branch), 2.35.4 or later, or 2.36.2 or later as specified in vendor advisory GHSA-95ph-833c-4wrp at https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/security/advisories/GHSA-95ph-833c-4wrp. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, audit all user accounts with workflow creation permissions and review recent workflow modifications or executions involving Gmail (v1) and Brevo nodes for suspicious activity. …
