Summary

CVE-2026-77070 is a high-severity Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Data Query Logic (CWE-943) vulnerability in N8N N8N. Its CVSS base score is 7.1 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 21th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

n8n before 1.123.69, 2.33.4, and 2.34.1 contains a NoSQL injection vulnerability in the MongoDB node's Find, Delete, and Aggregate operations, which parse the Query parameter as JSON after expression resolution without sanitizing MongoDB operators. An attacker who can influence the…

resolved query (e.g., via externally-controlled data) can inject operators such as $ne or $where, turning an intended single-document lookup into full-collection disclosure, full-collection deletion, or other operations on the database server.

prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require parameterized queries and input neutralization to prevent query-logic injection.

prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and query parameterization that directly prevent injection flaws.

prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection and improper query construction.

prevents

Secure architecture principles reduce the likelihood of query-logic flaws but do not prescribe the specific coding practice.

prevents

Secure coding standards require proper neutralization of special elements in all data queries.

finds

Security testing in development catches injection vulnerabilities before release but does not itself implement the fix.

prevents

Outsourced development agreements can require secure coding practices, indirectly mitigating the weakness.
