CVE-2026-110848 Details
Description
n8n before 1.123.83, 2.x before 2.41.4, and 2.42.x before 2.42.1 contains a prototype pollution vulnerability in the AI workflow builder, which merges workflow connections using node names as object members without checking for reserved keys. Authenticated users can create nodes named __proto__ through the API and invoke the connect-nodes operation to pollute the global object prototype, disrupting the instance until restart.
A prototype pollution vulnerability has been identified in n8n versions prior to 1.123.83, 2.41.4, and 2.42.1. The issue arises in the AI workflow builder, where workflow connections are merged using node names as object members without proper validation for reserved keys. This flaw allows authenticated users to create nodes named '__proto__' via the API and use the connect-nodes operation to corrupt the global object prototype. This disruption persists until the instance is restarted.
Users can upgrade to n8n versions 1.123.83, 2.42.1, or 2.41.4 to address this vulnerability. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, it is recommended to restrict access to the n8n instance to trusted users only, disable the AI Builder feature if not needed, and audit existing workflows for nodes using reserved JavaScript property names like '__proto__', 'constructor', or 'prototype', removing or renaming them as necessary.
