Technical details
The vulnerability consists of three independently reported issues: (1) Path traversal via unvalidated workflow identifiers used as URL path segments in the n8n API client, allowing authenticated callers to bypass access controls by crafting malicious workflow IDs; (2) SSRF through redirect-following in webhook, form, and chat trigger URL validation, where URLs passing initial validation can redirect to otherwise-rejected hosts with response bodies returned to the caller; (3) Information disclosure through telemetry mutation tracking that stores unredacted operation payloads containing node parameters such as bearer tokens, API keys, and webhook secrets. All three issues require an authenticated MCP caller and an n8n API integration configured with an API key. The fix is available in n8n-mcp version 2.50.1 and later.
