GHSA-vpcf-gvg4-6qwr: n8n: Expression Sandbox Escape Leads to RCE

Summary

Additional expression-evaluation exploits in n8n, following CVE-2025-68613, allow an authenticated user with workflow create or modify permission to run unintended system commands on the host running n8n. The attacker crafts expressions in workflow parameters to trigger this.

Mitigation

Fixed in n8n versions 2.10.1, 2.9.3, and 1.123.22; upgrade to one of these or later. If upgrading is not immediately possible, limit workflow creation and editing permissions to fully trusted users only, and deploy n8n in a hardened environment with restricted operating system privileges and network access. These workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and are short-term measures only.
