n8n - Webhook Forgery via Unsigned POST Requests in ZendeskTrigger
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 25/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.31% (FIRST EPSS).
- 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.
- Fixed version: n8n n8n 1.123.18, 2.6.2.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to n8n n8n 1.123.18, 2.6.2 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
n8n before versions 1.123.18 and 2.6.2 fails to verify HMAC-SHA256 signatures on Zendesk webhooks in the ZendeskTrigger node. Attackers who know the webhook URL can send unsigned POST requests to trigger workflows with arbitrary malicious data.
