{"id":"GHSA-jwm3-qcfw-c5pp","summary":"n8n: Python Code Node AST Validator Bypass","details":"## Impact\nAn authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows containing a Python Code node could bypass the AST security validator and access the task executor module namespace. On self-hosted instances where `N8N_BLOCK_RUNNER_ENV_ACCESS=false` is set, this extended to disclosure of environment variables accessible to the task runner process.\n\nThis issue only affects instances where the Python Task Runner is enabled and `N8N_BLOCK_RUNNER_ENV_ACCESS=true`.\n\n## Patches\nThe issue has been fixed in n8n versions 2.25.7, and 2.26.2. Users should upgrade to one of these versions or later to remediate the vulnerability.\n\n## Workarounds\nIf upgrading is not immediately possible, administrators should consider the following temporary mitigations:\n- Limit workflow creation and editing permissions to fully trusted users only.\n- Disable the Python Code node by adding `n8n-nodes-base.code` to the `NODES_EXCLUDE` environment variable, or disable the Python Task Runner entirely.\n\nThese workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.","aliases":["CVE-2026-56777"],"modified":"2026-07-08T08:27:03.875491531Z","published":"2026-06-16T22:39:46Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-06-16T22:39:46Z","nvd_published_at":null,"cwe_ids":["CWE-693"],"severity":"MODERATE"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/security/advisories/GHSA-jwm3-qcfw-c5pp"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"n8n","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/n8n"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"2.26.0"},{"fixed":"2.26.2"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/06/GHSA-jwm3-qcfw-c5pp/GHSA-jwm3-qcfw-c5pp.json"}},{"package":{"name":"n8n","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/n8n"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.25.7"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/06/GHSA-jwm3-qcfw-c5pp/GHSA-jwm3-qcfw-c5pp.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
