CVE-2026-86075 PUBLISHED

n8n: Unauthenticated Persistent Storage Exhaustion via OAuth Dynamic Client Registration Endpoint

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 04.09.2026 Published: 08.09.2026 Updated: 08.09.2026

n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to 2.37.7 and 2.38.2, the OAuth Dynamic Client Registration endpoint bounded redirect_uris but accepted arbitrarily large client_name and grant_types values. An unauthenticated remote caller could repeatedly persist oversized values in oauth_clients and exhaust database storage. The affected validation is in packages/cli/src/modules/oauth-server/oauth-server.service.ts, including MAX_CLIENT_NAME_LENGTH and MAX_GRANT_TYPES. This issue is fixed in versions 2.37.7 and 2.38.2.
