Summary

n8n-MCP versions up to and including 2.57.3, when run in multi-tenant HTTP mode (ENABLE_MULTI_TENANT=true), let an authenticated tenant reach the local default-scope workflow_versions backups instead of being confined to its own tenant scope. An attacker with tenant access can read or delete these backups, which may contain sensitive workflow configuration; single-tenant and stdio deployments are not affected.

Mitigation

Upgrade to n8n-mcp 2.57.4 or later. Workarounds: restrict network access to the HTTP endpoint (firewall, reverse proxy or VPN), run in stdio mode, or remove default-scope backups from a prior single-tenant deployment if they are not needed.
