CVE-2026-86077: n8n: Anonymous Approval-Gate Bypass via Reused resumeToken over the Chat WebSocket

September 10, 2026

The /chat WebSocket route resumed a paused execution from a resume token without checking that the node being resumed was a chat node. n8n hands that token to anonymous form submitters, so a party with no account could present it on the chat route and release an execution waiting at an approval gate, the control an author puts in front of an action considered too consequential to automate. The patch restricts resume over the chat route and Chat Hub to chat-capable node types.
