Short explanation
n8n before 2.41.4 and 2.42.1 contains a prototype pollution vulnerability in the MCP workflow-validation tool. This flaw allows an authenticated member to bypass permission checks and take over owner accounts not protected by MFA.
This vulnerability carries high risk because it allows a low-privileged user to bypass server-side permission checks and compromise unprotected owner accounts.
What should be done?
- Follow vendor advisories
- Upgrade n8n to unaffected versions
Chain of evidence and sources
n8n 2.41.4 öncesi ve 2.42.1 öncesi sürümler prototype pollution zafiyeti içermektedir.
Sadece workflow:read yetkisine sahip bir üye yerleşik bir yöntemi değiştirerek sunucu yetki kontrollerini atlayabilir.
Show the technical text from the sources
n8n before 2.41.4 and 2.42.x before 2.42.1 contains a prototype pollution vulnerability in the MCP workflow-validation tool, whose interpreter evaluates caller-supplied code in the main process, reads inherited properties, and permits assignment onto shared prototypes. An authenticated member holding only a workflow:read grant can replace a built-in method with one returning a truthy value so server-side permission checks accept unheld scopes, enabling takeover of owner accounts not protected by MFA.
