Description

Impact An authenticated user with workflow edit access could configure a `Respond to Webhook` node to serve binary content with an attacker-controlled `Content-Type`. The binary response path bypassed the central `Content-Security-Policy` sandbox header, allowing a public webhook to execute JavaScript in the n8n origin when visited by an authenticated user, with access to that user's session. Patches The issue has been fixed in n8n versions 1.123.55, 2.25.7, and 2.26.2. Users should upgrade to one of these versions or later to remediate the vulnerability. Workarounds If upgrading is not immediately possible, administrators should consider the following temporary mitigations: • Limit workflow creation and editing permissions to fully trusted users only. • Disable the Respond to Webhook node by adding `n8n-nodes-base.respondToWebhook` to the `NODES_EXCLUDE` environment variable. These workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.
