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 是一个开源的工作流自动化平台。在 1.123.76、2.37.7 和 2.38.2 之前，Git 节点在 或 操作时会校验 参数，但 函数在将 值写入仓库配置时未对其进行校验。后续的 或 操作会直接从该配置中解析远程仓库，而不是使用已校验的参数。因此，经过身份验证的工作流编辑器可以将 Git 指向 n8n 进程可读取的任意本地仓库，并通过 获取其内容。该问题已在版本 1.123.76、2.37.7 和 2.38.2 中修复。

Vulnerability Title
n8n: Git Node branch.<name>.remote Config Key Bypasses Sandbox Path Restriction, Enabling Local Git Repository Read
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 Git node validated the repository parameter for fetch or pull, but setUpstream wrote a branch..remote value into repository configuration without validating it. A later fetch or pull resolved the remote from that configuration instead of the checked parameter. An authenticated workflow editor could therefore point Git at any local repository readable by the n8n process and receive its contents through packages/nodes-base/nodes/Git/GenericFunctions.ts. This issue is fixed in versions 1.123.76, 2.37.7 and 2.38.2.
