CVE-2025-68613n8n — workflow expressions escape into remote code execution

n8n from 0.211.0 up to 1.120.4, 1.121.1 and 1.122.0 evaluates workflow expressions in a context that is not properly isolated from the runtime, so a signed-in user can have arbitrary code run on the automation server.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Upgrade n8n to 1.120.4, 1.121.1 or 1.122.0 now; the Zerobot family targets this, so check the host for unexpected processes and rotate stored credentials.
