GHSA-8g7g-hmwm-6rv2: n8n-mcp affected by path traversal, redirect-following SSRF, and telemetry payload exposure

May 8, 2026

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.
