n8n before 1.123.67 Prototype Pollution via Edit Fields

Impact

n8n before versions 1.123.67, 2.31.5, and 2.32.1 has a prototype pollution vulnerability in the Edit Fields node, allowing an authenticated user to corrupt a shared global, causing a denial of service. The vulnerability is due to the node assigning output fields without restricting the field name. This affects versions less than 1.123.67, between 2.0.0-rc.0 and 2.31.5, and between 2.32.0 and 2.32.1.

Summarized by @cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast. Verify details against the original sources.

Original source description

n8n before 1.123.67, 2.31.5, and 2.32.1 contains a prototype pollution vulnerability in the Edit Fields (Set) node. The node assigns output fields via a dot-notation path setter without restricting the field name, allowing an authenticated user to name a field after an inherited built-in method path and corrupt a shared global in the main Node.js process. Because that global is used on the request-authentication path, the instance then fails every authenticated request, causing an instance-wide denial of service for all users until the process is restarted.
