Description
n8n before 1.123.85, 2.x before 2.43.5, and 2.44.x before 2.44.1 contains an OData $filter injection vulnerability in the Microsoft Outlook contact lookup and Microsoft SharePoint v1 item update nodes, which build $filter string literals from expression-bindable parameters without escaping. Attackers who supply untrusted input to such workflows can inject single quotes to dump the bound mailbox's entire contact list or redirect SharePoint writes onto unintended list items within the stored credential's scope.

Impact

n8n before versions 1.123.85, 2.43.5, and 2.44.1 contains an OData $filter injection flaw in the Microsoft Outlook contact lookup and Microsoft SharePoint v1 item update nodes. By building “$filter” string literals from expression‑bindable parameters without escaping, an attacker can inject single quotes that cause the entire contact list of the bound mailbox to be returned or redirect SharePoint writes onto unintended list items within the stored credential’s scope. This is a classic CWE‑943 vulnerability.

Affected Systems

The affected product is n8n workflow software from n8n‑io. Versions earlier than 1.123.85, 2.43.5, and 2.44.1 are vulnerable. The Outlook and SharePoint nodes in those releases are the components that expose the flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 marks the flaw as a moderate severity vulnerability. The EPSS score is not available, so assessment relies on the CVSS score and the potential exposure of user data to untrusted inputs. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating that large‑scale exploitation has not been documented, but the ability to dump sensitive contact information or alter SharePoint items poses a significant risk to confidentiality and integrity when workflows accept external user input.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade n8n to version 1.123.85 or later, 2.43.5 or later, or 2.44.1 or later, depending on your installation.
  • Review and sanitize all data that populates $filter parameters in the Outlook and SharePoint nodes, ensuring that single quotes are escaped or removed before use.
  • If an immediate patch is not possible, restrict or validate any workflows that use these nodes so that only trusted data can reach the $filter parameters.
  • Monitor for unusual access to Outlook contact lists or unexpected SharePoint item updates as an early warning of exploitation.
