What is CVE-2026-65015?

The n8n platform before version 2.30.1 features a security flaw within the AI Agents capability, where insufficient authorization checks allow a Project Viewer user to escalate their privileges. By interacting with an agent that has node tools enabled, users can run arbitrary nodes and access sensitive credential secrets, without the necessary authorization verifications in place. This can result in unauthorized access to critical information and system capabilities.

Affected Version(s)

n8n 0 < 2.30.1
