Summary

n8n from 2.14.0 through 2.46.3 contains a path traversal flaw (CWE-22) in its Databricks node. Unencoded input mapped to spaceId, indexName, or filePath lets requests reach arbitrary Databricks API endpoints. An unauthenticated attacker can supply such input through webhook, chat, or form inputs to read secrets using the stored credential.
