Description
n8n versions before 2.36.2 contain an expression sandbox bypass vulnerability where free identifiers in spread, computed-key, switch-case, or class-extension positions resolve against process globals. Authenticated users with workflow-edit permission can mutate host objects through expression evaluation, with changes persisting process-wide until restart.
Affected configurations
• n8n n8n (< 2.35.4)
• n8n n8n (>= 2.36.0 <= 2.36.2)
