CVE-2026-85169— n8n before 1.123.73 Remote Code Execution via $fromAI Prototype Leak

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是n8n公司开源的一款支持持续集成与交付的工作流自动化工具。 n8n 1.123.73之前版本、2.35.4之前版本和2.36.2之前版本存在代码注入漏洞，该漏洞源于$fromAI处理器中的表达式沙箱逃逸，未要求调用者提供的占位符名称为自身属性且允许保留键，导致返回实时主机原型引用，具有工作流构建权限的攻击者可遍历原型链至Function构造函数，在主n8n进程中编译或执行任意代码，造成远程代码执行。

Vulnerability Title
n8n before 1.123.73 Remote Code Execution via $fromAI Prototype Leak
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
n8n versions before 1.123.73, 2.35.4, and 2.36.2 contain an expression sandbox escape in the $fromAI handler. $fromAI resolved a caller-supplied placeholder name without requiring it to be an own property and admitted reserved keys; against a primitive input value it returned a live host-prototype reference. An attacker with workflow-build privilege can walk the prototype chain to the Function constructor and compile/execute arbitrary code in the main n8n process, leading to remote code execution.
