CVE-2026-85168: n8n

High severity, CVSS 8.8. EPSS: 0.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.

Affected products

• n8n n8n: before 1.123.73 (fixed in 1.123.73); from 2.0.0, before 2.35.4 (fixed in 2.35.4); from 2.36.0, before 2.36.2 (fixed in 2.36.2)
