EPSS · scored 2026-10-27

n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to 2.37.7 and 2.38.2, the /rest/roles/:slug/assignments and /rest/roles/:slug/assignments/:projectId/members endpoints checked only whether the caller could manage the role type. A caller with role:manageProject could name a project the caller could not list and obtain member names and email addresses. The affected controller is packages/cli/src/controllers/role.controller.ts, which omitted the project:list scope check. This issue is fixed in versions 2.37.7 and 2.38.2.

    Ein entfernter, authentisierter Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in n8n ausnutzen, um Sicherheitsmechanismen zu umgehen, beliebigen Code auszuführen oder einen Denial of Service zu verursachen.

    ## Impact The endpoints `/rest/roles/:slug/assignments` and `/rest/roles/:slug/assignments/:projectId/members` checked only that the caller could manage the role type, not that they could see the project named in the request. A user holding role-management permission could therefore name any project on the instance and read back its members' names and email addresses. The patch adds a project-access check to both routes, hiding projects the caller cannot see and returning not-found for a project it cannot list. ## Patches The issue has been fixed in n8n versions 2.38.2 and 2.37.7. 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 n8n instance access to fully trusted users only. - Audit and revoke any custom global roles that carry the `role:manageProject` scope, limiting that scope to fully trusted users only. These workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.
