Affected packages
• npm n8n-mcp: < 2.57.4 → fixed in 2.57.4
Description
Summary
In multi-tenant HTTP mode (`ENABLE_MULTI_TENANT=true`), an authenticated tenant could, under certain conditions, reach n8n-mcp's local default-scope `workflow_versions` backups instead of being confined to its own tenant scope. This affects n8n-mcp's own local workflow-version storage, not a normal n8n API capability.
Impact
An authenticated MCP HTTP tenant could read or delete workflow-version backups stored in the default (single-tenant) scope — for example backups left from a prior single-tenant deployment or a migration period. Workflow snapshots may contain sensitive workflow configuration depending on their contents. Single-tenant and stdio deployments are not affected.
Affected versions
`<= 2.57.3`
Patched version
`2.57.4`
Remediation
Upgrade to n8n-mcp `2.57.4` or later. The fix requires a complete tenant context in multi-tenant mode and fails closed for workflow-version access that cannot be attributed to a specific tenant.
Workarounds
• Restrict network access to the HTTP endpoint (firewall / reverse proxy / VPN) so only trusted callers can reach it.
• Run in stdio mode, which has no multi-tenant HTTP surface.
• If default-scope backups from a prior single-tenant deployment are not needed, removing them eliminates the exposure.
