Frequently Asked Questions
What is CVE-2026-72775?
n8n before 1.123.67, 2.31.5, and 2.32.1 contains a SQL injection vulnerability in the PostgresTrigger node, which interpolates user-supplied identifier parameters (channel, function, and trigger names) into SQL statements without proper escaping. An authenticated user can inject arbitrary SQL executed against the connected PostgreSQL database with the configured credential's privileges, allowing full read and write access.
Is CVE-2026-72775 actively exploited?
No confirmed active exploitation of CVE-2026-72775 has been reported, but organizations should still patch proactively.
How to fix CVE-2026-72775?
No patch is currently available. Monitor vendor advisories for updates.
What is the CVSS score for CVE-2026-72775?
No CVSS score has been assigned yet.

Original Advisory
n8n before 1.123.67, 2.31.5, and 2.32.1 contains a SQL injection vulnerability in the PostgresTrigger node, which interpolates user-supplied identifier parameters (channel, function, and trigger names) into SQL statements without proper escaping. An authenticated user can inject arbitrary SQL executed against the connected PostgreSQL database with the configured credential's privileges, allowing full read and write access.
Weaknesses (CWE)
CWE-89 — Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection'): The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
- [Architecture and Design] Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid [REF-1482]. For example, consider using persistence layers such as Hibernate or Enterprise Java Beans, which can provide significant protection against SQL injection if used properly.
- [Architecture and Design] If available, use structured mechanisms that automatically enforce the separation between data and code. These mechanisms may be able to provide the relevant quoting, encoding, and validation automatically, instead of relying on the developer to provide this capability at every point where output is generated. Process SQL queries using prepared statements, parameterized queries, or stored procedures. These features should accept parameters or variables and support strong typing. Do not dynamically construct and execute query strings within these features using "exec" or similar functionality, since this may re-introduce the possibility of SQL injection. [REF-867]
