CVE-2026-86080: n8n

Medium severity, CVSS 5.3. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to 1.123.76, 2.37.7, and 2.38.2, the GitHub Trigger generated a webhook secret but discarded it when GitHub returned HTTP 422 and the node reused an existing webhook. Workflow static data then retained webhookId without webhookSecret, and X-Hub-Signature-256 verification accepted deliveries without a stored secret. The affected logic includes packages/nodes-base/nodes/Github/GithubTriggerHelpers.ts and the 422 webhook reuse path. This issue is fixed in versions 1.123.76, 2.37.7 and 2.38.2.

Affected products

• n8n n8n: before 1.123.76 (fixed in 1.123.76); from 2.0.0, before 2.37.7 (fixed in 2.37.7); from 2.38.0, before 2.38.2 (fixed in 2.38.2)
