CVE-2026-72774

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

n8n before 1.123.67, 2.31.5, and 2.32.1 contains a credential authorization bypass in the HTTP Request node. An authenticated member with edit access to a shared workflow can reference another user's credential while specifying the credential type via an expression. Because the pre-execution permission check compares the unresolved expression instead of the resolved credential type, the ownership check is skipped and the credential is loaded at execution time, allowing the member to use or exfiltrate a credential they were not granted. Exploitation requires knowing the target credential's identifier.

Un miembro autenticado con acceso de edición a un flujo de trabajo compartido puede hacer referencia a la credencial de otro usuario mientras especifica el tipo de credencial a través de una expresión. Debido a que la verificación de permisos previa a la ejecución compara la expresión no resuelta en lugar del tipo de credencial resuelto, la verificación de propiedad se omite y la credencial se carga en tiempo de ejecución, lo que permite al miembro usar o exfiltrar una credencial que no le fue concedida. La explotación requiere conocer el identificador de la credencial objetivo."
