CVE-2026-42282 Details
Description
n8n-MCP is an MCP server that provides AI assistants access to n8n node documentation, properties, and operations. Prior to version 2.47.13, when n8n-mcp runs in HTTP transport mode, authenticated MCP tools/call requests had their full arguments and JSON-RPC params written to server logs by the request dispatcher and several sibling code paths before any redaction. When a tool call carries credential material — most notably n8n_manage_credentials.data — the raw values can be persisted in logs. In deployments where logs are collected, forwarded to external systems, or viewable outside the request trust boundary (shared log storage, SIEM pipelines, support/ops access), this can result in disclosure of: bearer tokens and OAuth credentials sent through n8n_manage_credentials, per-tenant API keys and webhook auth headers embedded in tool arguments, arbitrary secret-bearing payloads passed to any MCP tool. The issue requires authentication (AUTH_TOKEN accepted by the server), so unauthenticated callers cannot trigger it; the runtime exposure is also reduced by an existing console-silencing layer in HTTP mode, but that layer is fragile and the values are still constructed and passed into the logger. This issue has been patched in version 2.47.13.
A vulnerability exists in n8n-MCP versions through 2.47.12, where sensitive information from authenticated MCP tool call requests is logged in full detail, including unredacted arguments and JSON-RPC parameters. This issue arises when n8n-MCP operates in HTTP transport mode, as the logging flaw allows credential data—such as bearer tokens, OAuth credentials, per-tenant API keys, and webhook authentication headers—to be recorded and potentially exposed through shared log storage or external systems. The vulnerability requires authentication, but can still lead to significant unauthorized information disclosure.
Users can upgrade to n8n-MCP version 2.47.13 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched. For those unable to upgrade immediately, it is recommended to restrict access to the HTTP port, limit log visibility, or switch to the stdio transport mode, which does not have an HTTP surface and bypasses the affected log calls.
