n8n: Prototype Pollution in XML and GSuiteAdmin node parameters lead to RCE
Details
## Impact An authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows could exploit a prototype pollution vulnerability in the GSuiteAdmin node. By supplying a crafted parameter as part of node configuration, an attacker could write attacker-controlled values onto `Object.prototype`. An attacker could use this prototype pollution to achieve remote code execution on the n8n instance.
## Patches The issue has been fixed in n8n versions 2.14.1, 2.13.3, and 1.123.27. Users should upgrade to one of these versions or later to remediate the vulnerability.
## Workarounds If upgrading is not immediately possible, administrators should consider the following temporary mitigations: - Limit workflow creation and editing permissions to fully trusted users only. - Disable the XML node by adding `n8n-nodes-base.xml` to the `NODES_EXCLUDE` environment variable.
These workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.
