## Overview

## Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-x5vx-c2c8-m3w9. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

## Original Description
n8n versions before 2.30.1 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability in the AI Agents feature where the node-execution tool lacks proper authorization checks. A Project Viewer user can escalate privileges by chatting with an agent that has node tools enabled, executing arbitrary nodes and accessing credential secrets without proper authorization verification.

## Affected packages

- `n8n < 2.29.8`

## Remediation

Refer to the advisory for the patched release.
