  "details": "## Impact\n\nAn authenticated member with edit access to a shared workflow could reference another user\u0027s credential in an HTTP Request node while specifying the credential type through an expression. Because the pre-execution permission check compared the unresolved expression instead of the real credential type, the ownership check was skipped and the credential was loaded at execution time, letting the member use or exfiltrate a credential they were never granted. Exploitation required knowing the target credential\u0027s identifier.\n\n## Patches\n\nThe issue has been fixed in n8n versions 1.123.67, 2.31.5, and 2.32.1. Users should upgrade to one of these versions or later to remediate the vulnerability.\n\n## Workarounds\n\nIf upgrading is not immediately possible, administrators should consider the following temporary mitigations:\n- Restrict n8n instance access to fully trusted users only.\n- Exclude the HTTP Request node by adding `n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest` to the `NODES_EXCLUDE` environment variable, if the node is not required.\n- Audit credential sharing and workflow access to limit exposure of credential IDs to untrusted users.\n\nThese workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.",
