n8nnpmDescription
Impact
A vulnerability in the HTTP Request node's credential domain validation allowed an authenticated attacker to send requests with credentials to unintended domains, potentially leading to credential exfiltration.
This only might affect user who have credentials that use wildcard domain patterns (e.g., *.example.com) in the "Allowed domains" setting.
Patches
This issue is fixed in version 1.121.0 and later. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade.
Workarounds
Until projects can upgrade:
- Replace wildcard domain patterns with explicit domain listings in HTTP Request credentials
- Review and restrict workflow creation/modification permissions to trusted users only
- Audit existing workflows using HTTP Request nodes with domain-restricted credentials

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 1.121.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-2xcx-75h9-vr9h 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.
