Description
n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to 1.123.61, 2.27.4, and, 2.28.1, an authenticated member with use-only editor access to a shared workflow could read credential-populated headers exposed via the $request object inside an HTTP Request node's pagination expression and exfiltrate the secret through item data. This issue is fixed in versions 1.123.61, 2.27.4, and 2.28.1.

Impact

The flaw occurs in the HTTP Request node’s pagination expression in the open‑source workflow automation platform. An authenticated member with use‑only editor permissions to a shared workflow can trigger the $request object, leading credential‑populated headers to be exposed and the secret values to be exfiltrated through the resulting item data. This is a high Information Disclosure vulnerability that could compromise the confidentiality of stored credentials that were intended to remain private, involving CWE‑200 and CWE‑522.

Affected Systems

Known affected versions are n8n releases prior to 1.123.61, 2.27.4, and 2.28.1. Any deployment of these versions that hosts shared workflows containing HTTP Request nodes with pagination expressions is vulnerable. The product n8n, developed by n8n-io, is the software at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 7.1 indicates high severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1 % (approximately 0.00294) shows a very low probability of exploitation currently. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, further suggesting limited known exploit activity. The attacker must be an authenticated contributor with editor access to a shared workflow that contains an HTTP Request node with a pagination expression. Although publicly documented exploits are absent, the potential for confidential credential disclosure warrants timely mitigation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to n8n version 1.123.61, or 2.27.4, or 2.28.1 to apply the vendor‑supplied fix for credential exposure in pagination expressions.
  • Review shared workflows that contain HTTP Request nodes and remove or replace any pagination expressions that reference the $request object to prevent unintended header leakage.
  • Restrict shared workflow accessibility to users who have full editing rights, and audit or revoke use‑only editor permissions until workflows have been sanitized and verified to be free of unsafe pagination expressions.
