n8n: Microsoft SQL Node Prototype Pollution
Details
## Impact An authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows could achieve global prototype pollution via the Microsoft SQL node by supplying a crafted value as the table parameter. This pollutes `Object.prototype` process-wide for the lifetime of the n8n server process, causing application-wide validation failures and rendering the n8n instance completely non-functional until restarted.
## Patches The issue has been fixed in n8n version 2.24.0. Users should upgrade to this version 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 Microsoft SQL node by adding `n8n-nodes-base.microsoftSql` to the `NODES_EXCLUDE` environment variable.
These workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.
