CVE-2026-110846 Details
Description
n8n before 2.41.4 and 2.42.x before 2.42.1 contains a signature bypass in the waiting-webhook endpoint, which selects Send-and-Wait validation before normalising an alternate node reference form. Attackers holding an execution's resume token can approve waiting executions meant for others, running downstream actions under the workflow owner's credentials, potentially including command execution.
A signature bypass vulnerability has been identified in n8n versions prior to 2.41.4 and in the 2.42.x series before 2.42.1. The issue resides in the waiting-webhook endpoint, where the Send-and-Wait validation is applied before normalizing an alternate node reference form. This flaw allows attackers with an execution's resume token to approve waiting executions intended for others, executing downstream actions under the workflow owner's credentials, which could include command execution.
Users can upgrade to n8n versions 2.42.1 or 2.41.4 to address this vulnerability. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, consider restricting access to the n8n instance to trusted users only, avoiding the use of Send-and-Wait nodes that control critical actions in workflows exposed to external callers, and disabling public webhook and chat trigger endpoints that precede Send-and-Wait approval nodes until the instance is patched.
