CVE-2026-72774
NVD analysis in progress
n8n before 1.123.67, 2.31.5, and 2.32.1 contains a credential authorization bypass in the HTTP Request node. An authenticated member with edit access to a shared workflow can reference another user's credential while specifying the credential type via an expression. Because the pre-execution permission check compares the unresolved expression instead of the resolved credential type, the ownership check is skipped and the credential is loaded at execution time, allowing the member to use or exfiltrate a credential they were not granted. Exploitation requires knowing the target credential's identifier.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, with an ordinary user account and with no action from the victim. It also depends on circumstances the attacker does not control.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data. The impact spreads beyond the vulnerable component into other parts of the system.
- Weakness
- Changing an identifier in the request grants access to another user’s data.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
