CVE-2026-77084: n8n before 1.123.69 Remote Code Execution via Git Node Configuration Values

Published Aug 20, 2026
·
Updated

n8n before 1.123.69 (and 2.x before 2.33.4 / 2.34.1) contains a code execution vulnerability in the Git node. The Git node executed certain repository-local git configuration values without neutralizing them, so any subsequent Git node operation against a repository containing a malicious value would execute it as the n8n process user. This is not reachable through the Git node's own configuration controls and requires a separate file-write vulnerability elsewhere to plant the malicious value.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

What conditions are required for exploitation?

An attacker must first use a separate file-write vulnerability to place a malicious repository-local Git configuration value in a repository. A subsequent Git node operation against that repository then executes the value as the n8n process user.

2

Is this reachable through normal Git node configuration?

No. The vulnerable repository-local Git configuration values cannot be set through the Git node's own configuration controls.

3

Which deployments need remediation?

Deployments running n8n versions before 1.123.69, or 2.x versions before 2.33.4 or 2.34.1, are affected when Git node operations are performed on a repository where a malicious local Git configuration value has been planted.
