CVE-2026-42282: n8n-MCP: Unsecured Data Exposed in Server Logs
CVE-2026-42282 · published 6 months ago
Summary
Prior to version 2.47.13, n8n-MCP servers running in HTTP mode logged sensitive data, including authentication tokens and API keys, in their server logs. This data could be accessed by unauthorized parties if logs were shared or viewed outside the server's trust boundary. Update to version 2.47.13 or later to fix this issue.
What to do
- Update GitHub Actions n8n-mcp to version 2.47.13.

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.
