CVE-2026-118649 Details
Description
n8n before 2.43.5 and 2.44.x before 2.44.1 accepts a client-supplied workflow ID and caches each workflow's owner project in memory by that ID, so a crafted ID such as __proto__ makes the Data Table project check match every project. An authenticated member who can create and run workflows can list, read, modify, and delete Data Table rows in all projects of the instance.
A vulnerability in n8n versions prior to 2.43.5 and 2.44.0 through 2.44.1 allows for authorization bypass via a crafted workflow ID. The application caches the owner project of each workflow in memory based on the supplied ID. By using a specially crafted ID, such as '__proto__', an attacker can manipulate the project check to match all projects. This vulnerability enables an authenticated user who can create and run workflows to list, read, modify, and delete Data Table rows across all projects within the instance.
Users are advised to upgrade to n8n versions 2.44.1 or 2.43.5. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, consider restricting access to trusted users, auditing workflows for the '__proto__' ID, and disabling the Data Tables module if not needed.
