n8n: DOM-Based XSS via Unsandboxed iframe srcdoc in HTML Preview

Quick fix

GHSA-p3rg-hrf9-w9gj — n8n: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

npm install n8n@1.123.64

Details

## Impact

The HTML preview renders execution output into an `iframe srcdoc` without `sandbox`, so a sanitizer bypass lets injected script run same-origin as the editor. When a victim opens the preview, it can call authenticated APIs with their session. An account with `global:member` privileges can exploit it.

## Patches

The issue has been fixed in n8n versions 1.123.64, 2.29.8, and 2.30.1. 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: - Restrict n8n instance access to fully trusted users only. - Set the `N8N_CONTENT_SECURITY_POLICY` environment variable to a policy that blocks inline scripts. - Avoid exposing workflows that render externally-controlled input into the HTML node or binary HTML preview to untrusted users.

These workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.
