CVE-2026-110848

n8n before 1.123.83, 2.41.4, and 2.42.1 Prototype Pollution via AI Workflow Builder Connection Merge

Published Oct 14, 2026 · updated Oct 14, 2026 · n8n-io n8n

n8n before 1.123.83, 2.x before 2.41.4, and 2.42.x before 2.42.1 contains a prototype pollution vulnerability in the AI workflow builder, which merges workflow connections using node names as object members without checking for reserved keys. Authenticated users can create nodes named __proto__ through the API and invoke the connect-nodes operation to pollute the global object prototype, disrupting the instance until restart.
