CVE-2026-72770
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
n8n versions before 1.123.67 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the Git node's fetch, pull, and push-tags operations that allows authenticated users to bypass repository-path containment checks. Attackers with workflow create/execute rights can point allowlisted remote configurations at local paths outside the sandbox to pull arbitrary git repositories and read their files and history.

Los atacantes con derechos de creación/ejecución de flujos de trabajo pueden apuntar configuraciones remotas en lista blanca a rutas locales fuera del sandbox para extraer repositorios git arbitrarios y leer sus archivos e historial."
