Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to trigger n8n workflows with forged Asana events and prevent genuine deliveries from being accepted.

The vulnerability exists due to the Asana Trigger accepting a replacement webhook verification secret from any request carrying an X-Hook-Secret header without authentication. An unauthenticated attacker can use a known webhook URL to replace the secret and submit attacker-controlled events that pass signature verification.
