Am I affected? Affected: n8n < 2.25.7 and >= 2.26.0, < 2.26.2. Fixed in: 2.25.7 and 2.26.2.
- Check your version: run
npm ls n8n. Versions >= 2.26.0, < 2.26.2 of n8n are affected.
What to do now
- Upgrade to the fixed version: run
npm install n8n@2.26.2(first patched version 2.26.2). - Upgrade to n8n 2.25.7 or 2.26.2 or later.
- Avoid running
@n8n/mcp-browserwith the HTTP transport; use the default stdio transport instead. - If HTTP transport is required, restrict network access to the listening port to trusted clients only using host-based firewall rules.
General practice, not from the source: if the affected software could read tokens or credentials, rotate them after upgrading; pin versions and review changes before updating tools your agents run.
