An authenticated user able to create or edit a workflow expression can abuse the engine's array-element access to obtain a reference to a host built-in and pollute its prototype in the main n8n process (a sandbox escape), leading to a denial of service. Both self-hosted and cloud instances running the VM expression engine are affected.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-08-11T13:19:07.22+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-24T15:10:00.19+00:00","affected":[],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 4.0 · disclosure@vulncheck.com · Secondary","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X","score":6.1,"severity":"MEDIUM"},{"system":"CVSS 3.1 · nvd@nist.gov · Primary","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","score":8.1,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/security/advisories/GHSA-hx4h-vr3m-45vh","https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/n8n-before-prototype-pollution-via-vm-expression-engine"],"sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-72769","license":"NIST NVD usage terms; underlying source attribution retained","enrichment":{"sourceStatus":"Analyzed","weaknesses":["CWE-1321"],"productCriteria":["cpe:2.3:a:n8n:n8n:*:*:*:*:*:node.js:*:*","cpe:2.3:a:n8n:n8n:2.32.0:*:*:*:*:node.js:*:*"],"sourceDates":{"published":"2026-08-11T13:19:07.220","lastModified":"2026-10-24T15:10:00.190"},"relatedAdvisories":[],"note":"NVD analysis and CPE criteria are source context, not proof that a package or your environment is affected.
