How to fix?

Upgrade n8n-nodes-base to version 1.121.44, 2.33.1, 2.34.1 or higher.

Overview

n8n-nodes-base is a Base nodes of n8n

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in the GraphQL node's Authentication parameter, which accepts expression values and, when several credentials of different types are attached in expression mode, resolves the allowed-domains policy from the first credential alone while attaching the material from all of them. A user with workflow authoring rights can send a domain restricted credential to an endpoint of their choosing, by configuring a GraphQL node with multiple credentials of differing types in expression mode so the permissive policy governs the request. This requires an authenticated account able to create or edit workflows, and the consequence is bounded by whatever the leaked credential itself authorizes.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be avoided by restricting network egress from the n8n host so the node cannot reach endpoints outside the intended set.
