CVE-2026-54307: n8n: Credential Exfiltration via Permission Bypass

June 16, 2026 (updated July 8, 2026)

A member-level user with editor access to a shared workflow could reference credentials they do not own via specific public API endpoints. Credential ownership checks were only enforced partially leading to cross-user credential access.

This issue affects instances where workflow sharing is enabled and at least one workflow has been shared with a member-level user as an Editor.
