Description
n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to versions 1.123.10 and 2.5.0, vulnerabilities in the Git node allowed authenticated users with permission to create or modify workflows to execute arbitrary system commands or read arbitrary files on the n8n host. This issue has been patched in versions 1.123.10 and 2.5.0.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the n8n workflow automation platform, specifically in its Git node component. Before versions 1.123.10 and 2.5.0, authenticated users who had permission to create or modify workflows could exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary system commands or read arbitrary files on the host machine running n8n.

This means that an attacker with certain workflow permissions could potentially take control of the underlying system or access sensitive files without proper authorization.

Impact Analysis

The impact of this vulnerability is severe because it allows an attacker with limited permissions to execute arbitrary commands on the system hosting n8n or read any files on that system.

  • Potential unauthorized access to sensitive data stored on the host.
  • Execution of malicious commands that could compromise the system's integrity or availability.
  • Escalation of privileges or lateral movement within the network if the attacker leverages this access.

Overall, this vulnerability could lead to significant security breaches, data loss, or system downtime.
