CVE-2026-54301: n8n: Same-Origin XSS in Respond to Webhook Node

June 16, 2026

An authenticated user with workflow edit access could configure a Respond to Webhook node to serve binary content with an attacker-controlled Content-Type. The binary response path bypassed the central Content-Security-Policy sandbox header, allowing a public webhook to execute JavaScript in the n8n origin when visited by an authenticated user, with access to that user’s session.
