Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-62726 is a remote code execution vulnerability (CWE-829) in the Git Node component of n8n, an open source workflow automation platform. It affects both Cloud and Self-Hosted versions prior to 1.113.0. The flaw occurs when the Git Node clones a remote repository containing a malicious pre-commit hook, and a subsequent Commit operation triggers execution of that hook, allowing arbitrary code to run within the n8n environment.
Attackers with low privileges, such as authenticated users (PR:L), can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction required (UI:N). By hosting a malicious Git repository with a pre-commit hook, an attacker can entice a victim to clone it via the Git Node and then perform a commit, resulting in arbitrary code execution. This grants high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (CVSS 8.8), potentially compromising the n8n system, connected credentials, and workflows.
The vulnerability is addressed in n8n version 1.113.0. Mitigation details are available in the GitHub security advisory (GHSA-xgp7-7qjq-vg47), the fixing pull request (n8n-io/n8n/pull/19559), and the associated commit (n8n-io/n8n/commit/5bf3db5ba84d3195bbe11bbd3c62f7086e090997).

a pre-commit hook, the subsequent use of the Commit operation in the Git Node can inadvertently trigger the hook’s execution. This allows attackers to execute arbitrary code within the n8n environment, potentially compromising the system and any connected credentials or workflows. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.113.0.
