The agent's node-execution tool didn't properly check whether the user was allowed to execute nodes or access the project's credentials (secret login information), letting Project Viewers run arbitrary tools and access secrets they shouldn't see, and potentially execute commands on the server.","solution":"The issue has been fixed in n8n versions 2.29.8 and 2.30.1. Users should upgrade to one of these versions or later. If upgrading is not immediately possible, administrators can temporarily disable the AI Agents module by removing `agents` from the `N8N_ENABLED_MODULES` environment variable, restrict project membership to fully trusted users only and avoid granting Project Viewer access to untrusted users on projects with agents that have node tools enabled, or disable command-execution nodes (such as Execute Command or SSH). These workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.","labels":["security"],"sourceUrl":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-x5vx-c2c8-m3w9","publishedAt":"2026-07-22T17:55:55.000Z","cveId":"CVE-2026-65015","cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":"high","severity":"high","attackType":[],"issueType":"vulnerability","affectedPackages":["n8n@< 2.29.8 (fixed: 2.29.8)","n8n@>= 2.30.0, < 2.30.1 (fixed: 2.30.1)"],"affectedVendors":["LangChain"],"affectedVendorsRaw":["n8n"],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-4-5-20251001","classifierPromptVersion":"v3","cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":"unknown","epssScore":0,"patchAvailable":true,"disclosureDate":"2026-07-22T17:55:55.000Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"moderate","impactType":["integrity","confidentiality"],"aiComponentTargeted":"agent","llmSpecific":false,"classifierConfidence":0.85,"researchCategory":null,"atlasIds":null}}
