How to fix?

Upgrade n8n-mcp to version 2.57.4 or higher.

Overview

n8n-mcp is an Integration between n8n workflow automation and Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in the workflow_versions. An attacker can access or delete sensitive workflow-version backups by sending crafted requests in multi-tenant HTTP mode.

Note: This is only exploitable if the application is running with ENABLE_MULTI_TENANT=true and default-scope backups from a prior single-tenant deployment are present.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by restricting network access to the HTTP endpoint (using firewall, reverse proxy, or VPN), running in stdio mode, or removing default-scope backups that are no longer needed.
