Authenticated credential disclosure via unredacted tool-call logging
Published May 8, 2026 · Updated May 8, 2026
Sensitive-data exposure in n8n-MCP before 2.47.13 allows remote authenticated users to disclose credentials through HTTP tool calls. The HTTP request dispatcher and sibling paths log complete tools/call arguments and JSON-RPC parameters before redaction, persisting values such as n8n_manage_credentials.data. Exploitation requires a valid AUTH_TOKEN and HTTP mode, and disclosure occurs when logs cross the request trust boundary through shared access, forwarding, or collection.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
