Summary
n8n versions before 2.39.6 and 2.40.0 before 2.40.1 contain a session token leakage vulnerability in the Dynamic Credentials authorize and revoke endpoints. Attackers with resolver registration capability can capture collaborators' session tokens by setting a fallback resolver to an attacker-controlled endpoint during the account connection flow, enabling unauthorized credential access.
