When a validly-signed incoming token was matched to a local account by its email claim, the service did not verify that the email claim was verified, nor that the trusted key's permitted role ceiling covered that account. As a result, anyone able to obtain a token accepted by a configured trusted key (for example, a trusted issuer emitting unverified email addresses) could authenticate as any existing user and gain full account control. This issue only affects instances where the embed login feature is enabled and at least one trusted key source is configured."},{"lang":"es","value":"n8n anterior a 2.32.1 (y anterior a 2.31.5) es vulnerable a la toma de control de cuenta a través de la función de inicio de sesión incrustado de intercambio de tokens. Cuando un token entrante válidamente firmado se emparejaba con una cuenta local por su declaración de correo electrónico, el servicio no verificaba que la declaración de correo electrónico estuviera verificada, ni que el techo de rol permitido de la clave de confianza cubriera esa cuenta. Como resultado, cualquiera que pudiera obtener un token aceptado por una clave de confianza configurada (por ejemplo, un emisor de confianza que emitiera direcciones de correo electrónico no verificadas) podría autenticarse como cualquier usuario existente y obtener control total de la cuenta. Este problema solo afecta a las instancias donde la función de inicio de sesión incrustado está habilitada y al menos una fuente de clave de confianza está configurada."}],"affected":[{"source":"disclosure@vulncheck.com","affectedData":[{"vendor":"n8n-io","product":"n8n","defaultStatus":"unaffected","packageURL":"pkg:npm/n8n","versions":[{"version":"0","lessThan":"2.32.1","versionType":"semver","status":"affected"},{"version":"2.32.1","versionType":"semver","status":"unaffected"}]},{"vendor":"n8n-io","product":"n8n","defaultStatus":"unaffected","packageURL":"pkg:npm/n8n","versions":[{"version":"0","lessThan":"2.31.5","versionType":"semver","status":"affected"},{"version":"2.31.5","versionType":"semver","status":"unaffected"}]}]}],"metrics":{"cvssMetricV40":[{"source":"disclosure@vulncheck.com","type":"Secondary","cvssData":{"version":"4.0","vectorString":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:L/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","baseScore":8.9,"baseSeverity":"HIGH","attackVector":"NETWORK","attackComplexity":"LOW","attackRequirements":"PRESENT","privilegesRequired":"LOW","userInteraction":"NONE","vulnConfidentialityImpact":"HIGH","vulnIntegrityImpact":"HIGH","vulnAvailabilityImpact":"HIGH","subConfidentialityImpact":"HIGH","subIntegrityImpact":"HIGH","subAvailabilityImpact":"LOW","exploitMaturity":"NOT_DEFINED","confidentialityRequirement":"NOT_DEFINED","integrityRequirement":"NOT_DEFINED","availabilityRequirement":"NOT_DEFINED","modifiedAttackVector":"NOT_DEFINED","modifiedAttackComplexity":"NOT_DEFINED","modifiedAttackRequirements":"NOT_DEFINED","modifiedPrivilegesRequired":"NOT_DEFINED","modifiedUserInteraction":"NOT_DEFINED","modifiedVulnConfidentialityImpact":"NOT_DEFINED","modifiedVulnIntegrityImpact":"NOT_DEFINED","modifiedVulnAvailabilityImpact":"NOT_DEFINED","modifiedSubConfidentialityImpact":"NOT_DEFINED","modifiedSubIntegrityImpact":"NOT_DEFINED","modifiedSubAvailabilityImpact":"NOT_DEFINED","Safety":"NOT_DEFINED","Automatable":"NOT_DEFINED","Recovery":"NOT_DEFINED","valueDensity":"NOT_DEFINED","vulnerabilityResponseEffort":"NOT_DEFINED","providerUrgency":"NOT_DEFINED"}}],"cvssMetricV31":[{"source":"nvd@nist.gov","type":"Primary","cvssData":{"version":"3.1","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","baseScore":8.8,"baseSeverity":"HIGH","attackVector":"NETWORK","attackComplexity":"LOW","privilegesRequired":"LOW","userInteraction":"NONE","scope":"UNCHANGED","confidentialityImpact":"HIGH","integrityImpact":"HIGH","availabilityImpact":"HIGH"},"exploitabilityScore":2.8,"impactScore":5.9}],"ssvcV203":[{"source":"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0","ssvcData":{"timestamp":"2026-08-11T14:57:25.769099Z","id":"CVE-2026-72772","options":[{"exploitation":"none"},{"automatable":"no"},{"technicalImpact":"total"}],"role":"CISA Coordinator","version":"2.0.3"}}]},"weaknesses":[{"source":"disclosure@vulncheck.com","type":"Secondary","description":[{"lang":"en","value":"CWE-640"}]}],"configurations":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:a:n8n:n8n:*:*:*:*:*:node.js:*:*","versionEndExcluding":"2.31.5","matchCriteriaId":"F15BA8C2-64F1-4840-A451-E5D8B6198B30"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:a:n8n:n8n:2.32.0:*:*:*:*:node.js:*:*","matchCriteriaId":"4AC4E002-974B-4748-A5CB-F8A40E4F3B24"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/security/advisories/GHSA-8342-988q-86cr","source":"disclosure@vulncheck.com","tags":["Mitigation","Vendor Advisory"]},{"url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/n8n-before-authentication-bypass-via-token-exchange","source":"disclosure@vulncheck.com","tags":["Third Party Advisory"]}]}
