CVE-2026-42230: n8n has Open Redirect in MCP OAuth Consent Flow

April 29, 2026 (updated May 8, 2026)

The /mcp-oauth/register endpoint accepted OAuth client registrations without authentication, allowing arbitrary redirect_uri values to be registered. When a user denies the MCP OAuth consent dialog, the handleDeny handler redirects the user to the registered redirect_uri without validation, enabling an open redirect to an attacker-controlled URL. An attacker can craft a phishing link and send it to a victim; if the victim clicks “Deny” on the consent page, they are silently redirected to an external site.
