n8nnpmDescription
n8n before 2.8.0 contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the credential management flow where authenticated users can inject malicious JavaScript URLs into OAuth2 credential Authorization URL fields. Attackers can craft malicious credentials and trick victims into clicking the OAuth authorization button, executing arbitrary scripts in their browser session with the victim's privileges.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 📦npm | n8n | ≥ 2.7.0&&< 2.8.0 | 2.8.0 |
| 📦npm | n8n | all versions | 2.6.4 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for n8n. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update n8n to 2.8.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-56359 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-56359 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2026-56359. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
