CVE-2026-86083— n8n: Expression Sandbox Escape via Shared Builtin Tampering and Code-Printer Injection Leads to Code Execution

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 1.123.76之前版本、2.0.0至2.37.7之前版本和2.38.0至2.38.2之前版本存在代码注入漏洞，该漏洞源于旧版表达式引擎在isolated-vm-bridge.ts和ExpressionBuilder.ts代码生成路径中调用可变的全局JSON.stringify并插值时区数据，表达式可能替换JSON.stringify，导致后续生成的源码包含可执行的攻击者控制代码。

Vulnerability Title
n8n: Expression Sandbox Escape via Shared Builtin Tampering and Code-Printer Injection Leads to Code Execution
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to 1.123.76, 2.37.7, and 2.38.2, the legacy expression engine generated source text by calling the mutable global JSON.stringify while printing synthetic string literals and interpolating timezone data. An expression could replace JSON.stringify and cause later generated source to contain executable attacker-controlled code. The affected code-generation paths include packages/@n8n/expression-runtime/src/bridge/isolated-vm-bridge.ts and packages/@n8n/tournament/src/ExpressionBuilder.ts, and the issue does not affect the vm expression engine. This issue is fixed in versions 1.123.76, 2.37.7 and 2.38.2.
