n8n: Bypass "Allowed HTTP Request Domains" Credential Restriction in Multiple AI and LLM Nodes

CVE-2026-72771GHSA-64xh-79j6-r5v8

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (n8n 2.32.1, 2.31.5), 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 The credential "Allowed HTTP Request Domains" allowlist was intended to restrict which hosts a credential's secret could be sent to, protecting shared credentials from users who could use but not view them. Several AI/LLM nodes did not enforce this allowlist when a user-supplied base or endpoint URL was set. A low-privileged workflow editor with use-only access to such a shared credential could point one of these nodes at an attacker-controlled host and cause the credential secret to be transmitted there, then reuse it against the underlying service. Only instances where a credential has "Allowed HTTP Request Domains" configured and is shared with non-owner users are affected. Patches The issue has been fixed in n8n versions 2.31.5 and 2.32.1. Users should upgrade to one of these versions or later to remediate the vulnerability. Workarounds If upgrading is not immediately possible, administrators should consider the following temporary mitigations: - Restrict workflow creation…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-72771

Advisory: n8n: Bypass "Allowed HTTP Request Domains" Credential Restriction in Multiple AI and LLM Nodes
IDs: CVE-2026-72771, GHSA-64xh-79j6-r5v8
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-72771 (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 7.1)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: n8n 2.32.1, 2.31.5. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- npm n8n: affected >= 2.32.0, < 2.32.1; < 2.31.5; fixed in 2.31.5, 2.32.1

## 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.

## Sources
- Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-64xh-79j6-r5v8 (OSV record GHSA-64xh-79j6-r5v8 lists affected ranges: npm n8n >=2.32.0 =0 <2.31.5 (fixed))
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-64xh-79j6-r5v8 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-64xh-79j6-r5v8 lists affected ranges: npm n8n >=2.32.0 =0 <2.31.5)
