n8n: Prototype Pollution in XML and GSuiteAdmin node parameters lead to RCE
Platform
nodejs
Component
n8n
Fixed in
2.14.1
## Impact An authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows could exploit a prototype pollution vulnerability in the GSuiteAdmin node. By supplying a crafted parameter as part of node configuration, an attacker could write attacker-controlled values onto `Object.prototype`. An attacker could use this prototype pollution to achieve remote code execution on the n8n instance. ## Patches The issue has been fixed in n8n versions 2.14.1, 2.13.3, and 1.123.27. 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: - Limit workflow creation and editing permissions to fully trusted users only. - Disable the XML node by adding `n8n-nodes-base.xml` to the `NODES_EXCLUDE` environment variable. These workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.
How to fix
Actualice n8n a la versión 2.14.1, 2.13.3 o 1.123.27, o posterior. Si la actualización no es posible de inmediato, limite los permisos de creación y edición de flujos de trabajo a usuarios de confianza o deshabilite el nodo XML agregando `n8n-nodes-base.xml` a la variable de entorno `NODES_EXCLUDE`. Tenga en cuenta que estas soluciones alternativas son mitigaciones temporales y no solucionan completamente el riesgo.
