Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote user to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to the n8n Git node allows workflows to set arbitrary Git configuration values through the Add Config operation. When an attacker-controlled workflow sets core.hooksPath to a directory within the cloned repository containing a Git hook such as pre-commit, Git executes that hook during subsequent Git operations. Because Git hooks run as local system commands, this behavior can lead to arbitrary command execution on the underlying n8n host.
