CVE-2025-56265 Details
Description
An arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the Chat Trigger component of N8N v1.95.3, v1.100.1, and v1.101.1 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via uploading a crafted HTML file.
A vulnerability allowing arbitrary file uploads has been identified in the Chat Trigger component of N8N versions 1.95.3, 1.100.1, and 1.101.1. This vulnerability arises from inadequate file type restrictions, allowing users to upload HTML files that can execute JavaScript. When such a file is opened or previewed by another user, the embedded script runs in the context of the application, leading to stored cross-site scripting (XSS).
Users are advised to restrict allowed file types to exclude executable formats such as HTML, JavaScript, and SVG. Implement server-side validation to inspect file contents and reject files with embedded scripts. For image uploads, verify MIME types and magic numbers, not just file extensions. Additionally, serve user uploads from a separate domain or subdomain and set appropriate HTTP headers to block inline scripts.
