CVE-2026-119557 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.9 · Published 2026-10-30

n8n is a workflow automation platform that connects business applications and services. A path traversal vulnerability in the Databricks node allows attackers to reach arbitrary Databricks API endpoints through webhook inputs, potentially exposing stored secrets and credentials. The vulnerability requires a victim workflow that has bound untrusted input to Databricks parameters, but exploitation is unauthenticated and could lead to credential compromise on the Databricks tenant.

## Technical details

The Databricks Genie, Vector Search, and Files nodes concatenate user-supplied identifiers (spaceId, indexName, filePath) directly into API endpoint URLs without URL encoding or path validation. Attackers inject ../ sequences and query strings via webhook, chat, or form inputs to traverse to arbitrary API endpoints like /api/2.0/secrets/get. The vulnerability requires a workflow that maps untrusted input to these parameters and uses the Databricks credential; the attacker gains read access to secrets stored in the Databricks workspace.
