CVE-2023-27564: The n8n package 0.218.0 for Node.js allows Information Disclosure.

HighCVSS 7.5 · v3.1—Proof of concept Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 30/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.2% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 69.1% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • Fixed version: n8n (npm) 0.216.1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to n8n (npm) 0.216.1 or later.
