n8n versions before 2.30.1 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability in the AI Agents feature where the node-execution tool lacks proper authorization checks. A Project Viewer user can escalate privileges by chatting with an agent that has node tools enabled, executing arbitrary nodes and accessing credential secrets without proper authorization verification.

n8n before 2.29.8 and 2.30.x before 2.30.1 (affected from 2.27.0, when the OAuth 2.1 consent and token-issuance flow was introduced) does not verify that the authenticated user has access to the workflow referenced as the OAuth resource. On instances with at least one active MCP Server Trigger workflow configured with n8n OAuth2 authentication, a member-level user can register an OAuth client, self-approve consent for another user's workflow, and obtain a valid token. The workflow then runs in the owner's project context with the owner's stored credentials, and the attacker can set tool inputs and read outputs (potentially including data from the owner's connected integrations), breaking user and project isolation.

n8n before 1.123.64, 2.29.8, and 2.30.1 fails to enforce the "Allowed HTTP Request Domains" restriction on HTTP-based credentials (Header Auth, Basic Auth, Query Auth, OAuth) in the GraphQL node, unlike the HTTP Request node. An authenticated user able to create or edit workflows can point the node's endpoint at a server they control and exfiltrate restricted credentials. Only instances where a credential has "Allowed HTTP Request Domains" configured and is usable by non-owner users are affected.

n8n before 1.123.55, 2.25.7, and 2.26.2 contains an authorization vulnerability in three mutating evaluation test-run endpoints that authorize state-changing actions using the workflow:read scope instead of the action-appropriate workflow:execute scope. On instances using Advanced Permissions (Enterprise/Cloud) with projects and viewer roles, an authenticated user with the project:viewer role can start new evaluation test runs, cancel in-flight runs, and delete run records for workflows they only have read access to.

n8n before 2.25.7 and 2.26.x before 2.26.2 contains an authorization bypass in the Public API execution retry endpoint, which authorizes access using the workflow:read scope instead of workflow:execute. An authenticated user with read-only access to a shared workflow can use the Public API to retry executions of that workflow, bypassing the intended permission boundary between read and execute access. This affects instances where workflows are shared with other users or across projects.

n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to version 2.8.0, when the `N8N_SKIP_AUTH_ON_OAUTH_CALLBACK` environment variable is set to `true`, the OAuth callback handler skips ownership verification of the OAuth state parameter. This allows an attacker to trick a victim into completing an OAuth flow against a credential object the attacker controls, causing the victim's OAuth tokens to be stored in the attacker's credential. The attacker can then use those tokens to execute workflows in their name. This issue only affects instances where `N8N_SKIP_AUTH_ON_OAUTH_CALLBACK=true` is explicitly configured (non-default). The issue has been fixed in n8n version 2.8.0. Users should upgrade to this version or later to remediate the vulnerability. If upgrading is not immediately possible, administrators should consider the following temporary mitigations: Avoid enabling `N8N_SKIP_AUTH_ON_OAUTH_CALLBACK=true` unless strictly required, and/ or restrict access to the n8n instance to fully trusted users only. These workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.

n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to 1.123.55, 2.25.7, and 2.26.2, a member-level user with editor access to a shared workflow could reference credentials they do not own via specific public API endpoints. Credential ownership checks were only enforced partially leading to cross-user credential access. This issue affects instances where workflow sharing is enabled and at least one workflow has been shared with a member-level user as an Editor. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.123.55, 2.25.7, and 2.26.2.

n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to versions 2.6.4 and 1.123.23, an authenticated user without permission to list external secrets could reference a secret by the external name in a credential and retrieve its plaintext value when saving the credential. This bypassed the `externalSecret:list` permission check and allowed access to secrets stored in connected vaults without admin or owner privileges. This issue requires the instance to have an external secrets vault configured. The attacker must know or be able to guess the name of a target secret. The issue has been fixed in n8n versions 1.123.23 and 2.6.4. Users should upgrade to one of these versions or later to remediate the vulnerability. If upgrading is not immediately possible, administrators should consider the following temporary mitigations: Restrict n8n access to fully trusted users only, and/or disable external secrets integration until the patch can be applied. These workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.

An incorrect authorization vulnerability has been reported to affect several QNAP operating system versions. If exploited, the vulnerability could allow authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions via a network. We have already fixed the vulnerability in the following versions: QTS 5.1.6.2722 build 20240402 and later QuTS hero h5.1.6.2734 build 20240414 and later

IBM i Access Client Solutions 1.1.2 through 1.1.4 and 1.1.4.3 through 1.1.9.3 could allow an attacker to execute remote code. Due to improper authority checks the attacker could perform operations on the PC under the user's authority. IBM X-Force ID: 268273.

Tyler Technologies ERP Pro 9 SaaS allows an authenticated user to escape the application and execute limited operating system commands within the remote Microsoft Windows environment with the privileges of the authenticated user. Tyler Technologies deployed hardened remote Windows environment settings to all ERP Pro 9 SaaS customer environments as of 2025-08-01.

Harbor fails to validate user permissions when reading and updating job execution logs through the P2P preheat execution logs. By sending a request that attempts to read/update P2P preheat execution logs and specifying different job IDs, malicious authenticated users could read all the job logs stored in the Harbor database.

Harbor fails to validate the user permissions when updating p2p preheat policies. By sending a request to update a p2p preheat policy with an id that belongs to a project that the currently authenticated user doesn't have access to, the attacker could modify p2p preheat policies configured in other projects.

When system.enableCrossNamespaceCommands is enabled (on by default), the Temporal server permits certain workflow task commands (e.g. StartChildWorkflowExecution, SignalExternalWorkflowExecution, RequestCancelExternalWorkflowExecution) to target a different namespace than the namespace authorized at the gRPC boundary. The frontend authorizes RespondWorkflowTaskCompleted based on the outer request namespace, but the history service later resolves and executes the command using the namespace embedded in command attributes without authorizing the caller for that target namespace. This can allow a worker authorized for one namespace to create, signal, or cancel workflows in another namespace. This issue affects Temporal: through 1.29.1. Fixed in 1.27.4, 1.28.2, 1.29.2.

OpenStack Cyborg before 16.0.1 uses rule:allow (check_str='@') as the default policy for multiple API endpoints. This unconditionally authorizes any request carrying a valid Keystone token regardless of roles, project membership, or scope. An authenticated user with zero role assignments can complete various actions such as reprogramming FPGA bitstreams on arbitrary compute nodes via agent RPC.

The Brizy plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a incorrect capability check on the is_administrator() function in versions up to, and including, 1.0.125. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers to access and interact with available AJAX functions.
