CVE-2026-86075: n8n: Unauthenticated Persistent Storage Exhaustion via OAuth Dynamic Client Registration Endpoint

September 10, 2026

The OAuth Dynamic Client Registration endpoints validated field sizes only for redirect_uris, leaving client_name and grant_types bounded by presence checks alone. An unauthenticated remote caller could submit arbitrarily large values in either field and have them persisted to the database. Repeated registration therefore grew persistent storage without limit and without any account on the instance. The patch caps client_name at its column length and limits grant_types to the grant types the server actually implements, with the array capped at that count.
