Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-27578 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- n8n (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 1.123.22\n- n8n (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 1.123.22\n- n8n (npm): affected from 2.0.0; fixed in 2.9.3\n- n8n (npm): affected from 2.0.0; fixed in 2.9.3\n- n8n (npm): affected from 2.10.0; fixed in 2.10.1\n- n8n (npm): affected from 2.10.0; fixed in 2.10.1\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-27578/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-27578/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-27578","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-27578/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-27578","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2p9h-rqjw-gm92"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"n8n workflow automation","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can inject scripts into n8n workflows, leading to session hijacking and account takeover for other users.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"n8n","vendor":"n8n"}],"cvss":{"score":8.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-80","name":"Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags in a Web Page"},{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to versions 2.10.1, 2.9.3, and 1.123.22, an authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows could inject arbitrary scripts into pages rendered by the n8n application using different techniques on various nodes (Form Trigger node, Chat Trigger node, Send \u0026 Wait node, Webhook Node, and Chat Node). Scripts injected by a malicious workflow execute in the browser of any user who visits the affected page, enabling session hijacking and account takeover. The issues have been fixed in n8n versions 2.10.1 and 1.123.21. 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. Limit workflow creation and editing permissions to fully trusted users only, and/or disable the Webhook node by adding `n8n-nodes-base.webhook` to the `NODES_EXCLUDE` environment variable. These workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"n8n Vulnerable to Stored XSS via Various Nodes","id":"CVE-2026-27578","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":"n8n:n8n","products":["n8n:n8n"],"type":"xss","year":"2026"},"n_packages":6,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Misconfiguration in realtime-collaboration-platform","id":"CVE-2026-27579"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["1.123.22"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"n8n","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-2p9h-rqjw-gm92"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["1.123.22"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"n8n","purl":"pkg:npm/n8n","source":"GHSA-2p9h-rqjw-gm92"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["2.9.3"],"introduced":["2.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"n8n","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-2p9h-rqjw-gm92"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["2.9.3"],"introduced":["2.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"n8n","purl":"pkg:npm/n8n","source":"GHSA-2p9h-rqjw-gm92"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["2.10.1"],"introduced":["2.10.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"n8n","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-2p9h-rqjw-gm92"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["2.10.1"],"introduced":["2.10.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"n8n","purl":"pkg:npm/n8n","source":"GHSA-2p9h-rqjw-gm92"}],"prev":{"headline":"n8n: Expression Sandbox Escape Leads to RCE","id":"CVE-2026-27577"},"products":["n8n"],"published":"2026-02-25","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"n8n Improper Control of Dynamically-Managed Code Resources","id":"CVE-2025-68613","kev_date_added":"2026-03-11","published":"2025-12-19"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"n8n is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution via Arbitrary File Write","id":"CVE-2026-21877","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-08"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"n8n Vulnerable to Unauthenticated File Access via Improper Webhook Request Handling","id":"CVE-2026-21858","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-07"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"n8n Unsafe Workflow Expression Evaluation Allows Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2026-1470","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-27"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"n8n Vulnerable to Arbitrary Command Execution in Pyodide based Python Code Node","id":"CVE-2025-68668","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-26"},{"cvss_score":9.5,"headline":"n8n has Unauthenticated Expression Evaluation via Form Node","id":"CVE-2026-27493","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-25"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"n8n: HTTP Request Node Pagination Prototype Pollution to RCE","id":"CVE-2026-44789","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-23"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-02-26","vendors":["n8n-io"]},"summary":"Authenticated users can inject scripts into n8n workflows, leading to session hijacking and account takeover for other users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-27578/"}
