CVE-2026-1470

CWE-95Published: January 27, 2026· Updated: Jun 17, 2026

9.9

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

n8n contains a critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in its workflow Expression evaluation system. Expressions supplied by authenticated users during workflow configuration may be evaluated in an execution context that is not sufficiently isolated from the underlying runtime.

An authenticated attacker could abuse this behavior to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the n8n process. Successful exploitation may lead to full compromise of the affected instance, including unauthorized access to sensitive data, modification of workflows, and execution of system-level operations.

Risk Analysis

The n8n workflow engine is vulnerable to remote code execution due to insufficient isolation of expression evaluation. An authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the n8n process, resulting in a critical CVSS score of 9.9.

No public exploit is known, and the vulnerability is not in the KEV database.

Recommended Action

Users should update n8n to the latest version and ensure that workflow permissions are strictly managed.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-1470 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.9.

The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
