9.9

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to versions 1.123.17 and 2.5.2, an authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows could abuse crafted expressions in workflow parameters to trigger unintended system command execution on the host running n8n. This issue has been patched in versions 1.123.17 and 2.5.2.

Risk Analysis

Authenticated users can trigger arbitrary system command execution on the n8n host by abusing crafted expressions in workflow parameters. This critical vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 9.9, indicating a high risk of system compromise.

There is no public exploit circulating, and the issue is not in the CISA KEV. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable.

Recommended Action

Upgrade n8n to versions 1.123.17 or 2.5.2 to address this vulnerability.

Generated by the CTIWATCH analysis pipeline from this CVE's metadata (CVSS, EPSS, KEV status, exploit intelligence). Verify against vendor advisories before acting.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-25049 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.
