How to fix?

Upgrade n8n to version 1.123.18, 2.6.2 or higher.

Overview

n8n is a n8n Workflow Automation Tool

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to User Impersonation in the ZendeskTrigger node, which does not validate the HMAC-SHA256 signature on incoming webhook requests from Zendesk. An attacker can trigger workflows with forged payloads by sending unsigned POST requests carrying arbitrary data to the webhook URL, since the signature is never verified. Exploitation requires knowledge of the webhook URL, and the impact is bounded by what the triggered workflow does with the forged payload in connected systems.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be avoided by restricting network access to the webhook endpoint to known Zendesk IP ranges, so forged requests from other origins cannot reach the trigger.
