Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in n8n-io n8n up to 2.46.0. It has been classified as problematic. Affected is an unknown code block of the component Credentials. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a cross-domain policy vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-942. The product uses a web-client protection mechanism such as a Content Security Policy (CSP) or cross-domain policy file, but the policy includes untrusted domains with which the web client is allowed to communicate. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

n8n before 2.46.1 contains a credential exposure vulnerability that forwards Authorization headers and basic auth credentials on cross-origin redirects because sendCredentialsOnCrossOriginRedirect defaults to true. Attackers controlling a redirect target or an expression-fed URL in credential-using nodes can capture stored workflow credentials sent to their endpoint.
