CVE-2026-59253: n8n before 2.28.0 contains an improper authorization vulnerability allowing authenticated users to assign workflows to folders in other projects. Attackers can bypass project and folder authorization boundaries by supplying crafted request payloads during workflow creation, causing logical integrity violations in target project folder structures.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2026-59253

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2026-59253 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2026-59253

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2026-59253.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.
