Credential theft via name-based resolution bypass
Published Mar 25, 2026 · Updated Mar 25, 2026
Authorization bypass in affected n8n Community Edition releases allows remote authenticated users to steal other users' generic HTTP credentials. The name-based resolution path accepts a credential name without enforcing ownership or project scope, while pre-execution validation skips generic HTTP credential types. A global:member user who can create and run a workflow can resolve another user's credential ID and cause n8n to decrypt and use its secret; native integration credentials and Enterprise Edition are outside this path.
