CVE-2026-72766
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
n8n before 1.123.67, 2.x before 2.31.5, and 2.32.x before 2.32.1 contain a type confusion vulnerability in the Send Email node, which does not enforce that its message fields are strings. A crafted non-string value supplied from a workflow expression into the text or HTML body field can be interpreted by the underlying mail library (Nodemailer) as a file path or URL, allowing arbitrary local file disclosure and server-side request forgery (SSRF). Exploitation requires a pre-existing active workflow with an unauthenticated webhook, valid SMTP credentials configured on the node, and untrusted input mapped directly into the body field; this is not a default configuration.

"value": "n8n anterior a 1.123.67, 2.x anterior a 2.31.5, y 2.32.x anterior a 2.32.1 contienen una vulnerabilidad de confusión de tipos en el nodo ’Send Email’, que no asegura que sus campos de mensaje sean cadenas de texto. Un valor no-cadena de texto manipulado, proporcionado desde una expresión de flujo de trabajo en el campo de cuerpo de texto o HTML, puede ser interpretado por la biblioteca de correo subyacente (Nodemailer) como una ruta de archivo o URL, permitiendo la divulgación arbitraria de archivos locales y falsificación de petición del lado del servidor (SSRF). La explotación requiere un flujo de trabajo activo preexistente con un webhook no autenticado, credenciales SMTP válidas configuradas en el nodo, y entrada no confiable mapeada directamente en el campo del cuerpo; esta no es una configuración predeterminada."
