n8n-MCP flaws leak telemetry data and misroute multi-tenant n8n API calls
Two vulnerabilities were disclosed in the n8n-MCP server: before 2.51.3 its telemetry sanitizer could retain fragments of URL-shaped node parameters (such as tenant identifiers or secrets in query strings) and send them to the project's anonymous telemetry backend, and before 2.51.2 multi-tenant HTTP deployments silently fell back to the operator's own N8N_API_URL/N8N_API_KEY when per-request headers were missing, letting a tenant execute n8n management calls against the operator's instance. Both issues are fixed in releases 2.51.3 and 2.51.2.

Impact
Customer or tenant identifiers, short secrets in query strings and signed request parameters could be stored in telemetry; in shared multi-tenant HTTP deployments an authenticated tenant could cause n8n management calls to run against the operator's own n8n instance.
