CVE-2026-85168— n8n before 1.123.73 Remote Code Execution via Git Node

Quick assessment

Affected
n8n-io n8n
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

n8n 在 1.123.73、2.35.4 和 2.36.2 之前版本中的 Git 节点存在远程代码执行（RCE）漏洞。该节点在每次操作前会重置一个固定的、带有命令的配置键列表，但该列表未涵盖“内容过滤器”（content-filter）和“合并驱动”（merge-driver）这两类配置键。如果某个仓库的本地 Git 配置中设置了上述某类键，并匹配了相应的属性模式，那么在执行普通的 Add、Commit、Checkout 或 Pull 操作时，Git 将会执行所配置的命令。该命令将以 n8n 进程用户的身份运行。

Vulnerability Title
n8n before 1.123.73 Remote Code Execution via Git Node
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
n8n versions before 1.123.73, 2.35.4, and 2.36.2 contain a remote code execution vulnerability in the Git node. The node reset a fixed list of command-bearing configuration keys before each operation, but that list did not cover the content-filter and merge-driver key families. A repository with local configuration setting one of those keys together with a matching attribute pattern causes git to execute the configured command during an ordinary Add, Commit, Checkout, or Pull operation. The command runs as the n8n process user.
