GHSA-hx4h-vr3m-45vh: n8n: Prototype Pollution via VM Expression Engine Sandbox Escape Leads to Denial of Service

July 22, 2026

An authenticated user able to create or edit a workflow expression could abuse the expression engine’s array-element access to obtain a reference to a host built-in and pollute its prototype in the main n8n process, leading to a denial of service.

Both self-hosted and cloud instances running the VM expression engine are affected.
