description
n8n versions before 2.41.4, and 2.42.x releases before 2.42.1, are affected by prototype pollution in the MCP workflow-validation tool. An authenticated member with workflow:read permission could alter authorization behavior and gain permissions they were not assigned, potentially taking over owner accounts that do not use MFA.
mitigation
Upgrade to n8n 2.41.4 or later, or to 2.42.1 or later when using the 2.42 release line. Require MFA for owner accounts and restrict workflow:read access to trusted users until all instances are updated.
fixed in 2.41.4, 2.42.1
outcome
Contextual: an exploit technique exists, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
