n8n before 2.41.4 and 2.42.1 Prototype Pollution via MCP Workflow-Validation Interpreter

Published Oct 14, 2026 · Updated Oct 15, 2026 · Assigned by VulnCheck

Description

n8n before 2.41.4 and 2.42.x before 2.42.1 contains a prototype pollution vulnerability in the MCP workflow-validation tool, whose interpreter evaluates caller-supplied code in the main process, reads inherited properties, and permits assignment onto shared prototypes. An authenticated member holding only a workflow:read grant can replace a built-in method with one returning a truthy value so server-side permission checks accept unheld scopes, enabling takeover of owner accounts not protected by MFA.
