n8n critical vulnerabilities — update NOW
Multiple critical flaws (CVSS 9.9–10.0) with public exploits are being actively scanned. One requires zero authentication — just a crafted webhook request gives attackers access to your stored credentials and full server control.
Fix:
- Update to n8n 1.123.17 or 2.5.2
- Rotate your N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY
- Rotate ALL stored credentials (API keys, OAuth tokens, everything)
- Review workflows for expressions you didn't create
- Stop exposing n8n directly to the internet
Your n8n instance holds every API key and token your automations touch. One compromise = keys to everything.
Don't wait on this.
Cheers
