n8n: Cross-Tenant Credential Takeover via Dynamic Credentials EE Endpoints

CVE-2026-54305GHSA-2j5h-858j-5mpf

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (n8n 2.26.2, 2.25.7, 1.123.55), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Impact Three EE endpoints used by the Dynamic Credentials feature accepted any authenticated n8n session without performing per-resource ownership or scope checks on the target workflow or credential. An authenticated user with no project membership or credential sharing relationship could enumerate credential identifiers, names, and types referenced by any private workflow in the instance, initiate an OAuth authorization flow against another user's credential to overwrite its stored tokens with tokens bound to an account they control, or revoke another user's stored credential tokens entirely. Workflows relying on a hijacked credential would subsequently execute under the attacker's OAuth identity, enabling data exfiltration to attacker-controlled external services and persistent takeover of integrations. Token revocation would break affected workflows. This issue only affects Enterprise instances where the Dynamic Credentials feature is enabled. Patches The issue has been fixed in…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-54305

Advisory: n8n: Cross-Tenant Credential Takeover via Dynamic Credentials EE Endpoints
IDs: CVE-2026-54305, GHSA-2j5h-858j-5mpf
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-54305 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 12:57 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.9)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: n8n 2.26.2, 2.25.7, 1.123.55. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- npm n8n: affected < 1.123.55; >= 2.26.0, < 2.26.2; >= 2.0.0-rc.0, < 2.25.7; fixed in 2.25.7, 2.26.2, 1.123.55

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `npm ls n8n --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on n8n.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
