n8n-MCP: Workflow telemetry sanitizer could retain partial values from URL-shaped node parameters
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
In affected versions of n8n-mcp, the workflow telemetry sanitizer could retain partial fragments of URL-shaped node parameters before sending workflow data to the project's anonymous telemetry backend. Values placed in HTTP-Request-style node parameters — such as customer or tenant identifiers, short secrets embedded in query strings, and signed request parameters — could therefore appear in stored telemetry, contrary to the collection boundary documented in `PRIVACY.md`.
## Impact
Operators with access to the project's telemetry backend could read partial fragments of workflow URL parameters that should not have been collected. The bug was scoped to URL-shaped fields in workflow *definitions*; credentials, OAuth tokens, and workflow *execution* data are not affected — credentials are removed by a separate code path, and long secrets and known-provider tokens are matched by dedicated patterns.
## Patches
Fixed in **n8n-mcp `2.51.3`**. Upgrading is the recommended remediation.
## Workarounds
For users who cannot upgrade immediately, disable anonymous telemetry by setting any of these environment variables to `true`:
- `N8N_MCP_TELEMETRY_DISABLED`
- `TELEMETRY_DISABLED`
- `DISABLE_TELEMETRY`
