GHSA-8g7g-hmwm-6rv2

## Impact `n8n-mcp` versions before 2.50.1 contained three independently-reported issues affecting deployments that run the n8n API integration: 1. **Caller-supplied identifiers were not validated before being used as URL path segments** by the n8n API client. An authenticated MCP caller passing a crafted workflow id could cause outbound requests carrying the configured n8n API key to land on other same-origin endpoints, bypassing handler-level access controls (including `DISABLED_TOOLS`). 2. **Validated webhook, form, and chat trigger URLs followed redirects.** A URL that passed initial validation could redirect the outbound request to a host that would otherwise have been rejected, with the response body returned to the caller. Reachable as non-blind SSRF over authenticated MCP calls. 3. **Mutation telemetry stored unredacted operation payloads.** On instances running with the default opt-in telemetry, partial-update operation diffs were uploaded without redaction. Operation values can carry the same node-parameter values the workflow contains, including bearer tokens, API keys, and webhook secrets. ## Severity CVSS 8.3 (HIGH). Exploitation requires an authenticated MCP caller and an n8n API integration configured with an n8n API key. ## Patched versions Upgrade to `n8n-mcp >= 2.50.1`. ## Workarounds - For issues (1) and (2): restrict network access to the HTTP transport (firewall, reverse-proxy ACL, or VPN) so only trusted callers can reach the MCP HTTP port; or switch to stdio mode, which exposes no HTTP surface for these issues. - For issue (3): set `N8N_MCP_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=true` in the environment before starting the server, or run `npx n8n-mcp telemetry disable` once. ## Credit Reported by @cybercraftsolutionsllc.
