n8nnpmDescription
Impact
The AI Agents feature did not enforce the "Allowed HTTP Request Domains" restriction configured on credentials. As a result, a member-level user who had been granted use-only access to a shared credential could cause its secret to be sent to an external server they control, by pointing an MCP tool at an arbitrary URL and running the agent.
This issue only affects instances where the AI Agents module is enabled via N8N_ENABLED_MODULES=agents and at least one credential with domain restrictions has been shared with a member-level user.
Patches
The issue has been fixed in n8n version 2.28.1 and 2.27.4. Users should upgrade to this version or later to remediate the vulnerability.
Workarounds
If upgrading is not immediately possible, administrators should consider the following temporary mitigations:
- Disable the AI Agents module by removing
agentsfrom theN8N_ENABLED_MODULESenvironment variable. - Restrict credential sharing to fully trusted users only.
- Audit credentials with domain restrictions for unexpected sharing relationships.
These workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for n8n, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update n8n to 2.28.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-59207 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.
