CVE-2026-86993: n8n: Log Streaming Event Destinations Decrypt Generic-Auth Credentials Without Ownership Check

September 10, 2026

A log streaming event destination may reference a generic HTTP credential, and the destination resolved and decrypted whichever credential it named without checking that the caller had access to it. A user holding a custom global role scoped to Log Streaming operations could therefore name a credential belonging to another project and have its decrypted secret sent to an endpoint they controlled. The patch applies the standard credential access check when a destination resolves its credential.
