n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to 2.24.0, an authenticated user with workflow edit access could supply a malicious filter value in the MongoDB node's Find And Replace operation. The value was not validated before being passed to MongoDB as a query filter, allowing unintended documents to be matched and overwritten with attacker-controlled content. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.24.0.

Affected: npm: n8n

## Impact An authenticated user with workflow edit access could supply a malicious filter value in the MongoDB node's Find And Replace operation. The value was not validated before being passed to MongoDB as a query filter, allowing unintended documents to be matched and overwritten with attacker-controlled content.

## Patches The issue has been fixed in n8n version 2.24.0. 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: - Limit workflow creation and editing permissions to fully trusted users only. - Disable the MongoDB node by adding `n8n-nodes-base.mongoDb` to the `NODES_EXCLUDE` environment variable.

These workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.

Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in n8n ausnutzen, um beliebigen Code auszuführen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, SQL-Injection- und Cross-Site-Scripting-Angriffe durchzuführen, Daten zu manipulieren, einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand zu verursachen oder vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen, was weitere Angriffe einschließlich einer Rechteausweitung ermöglichen kann.
