CVE-2026-42235: n8n Vulnerable to XSS via MCP OAuth client
(updated )
An unauthenticated attacker could register a malicious MCP OAuth client with a crafted client_name. If a victim user authorized the OAuth consent dialog and a second user subsequently revoked that access, a toast notification would render the injected script. Clicking the link would execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim’s authenticated n8n browser session, enabling credential and session token theft, workflow manipulation, or privilege escalation.
