This commit implements HIGH-02 (Rate Limiting) and HIGH-03 (SSRF Protection) from the security audit, protecting against brute force attacks and Server-Side Request Forgery. Security Enhancements: - Rate limiting: 20 attempts per 15 minutes per IP (configurable) - SSRF protection: Three security modes (strict/moderate/permissive) - DNS rebinding prevention - Cloud metadata blocking in all modes 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

### Webhooks to Local n8n Fail (v2.16.3+)
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms:**
|
||||
- `n8n_trigger_webhook_workflow` fails with "SSRF protection" error
|
||||
- Error message: "SSRF protection: Localhost access is blocked"
|
||||
- Webhooks work from n8n UI but not from n8n-MCP
|
||||
|
||||
**Root Cause:** Default strict SSRF protection blocks localhost access to prevent attacks.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** Use moderate security mode for local development
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# For Docker run
|
||||
docker run -d \
|
||||
--name n8n-mcp \
|
||||
-e MCP_MODE=http \
|
||||
-e AUTH_TOKEN=your-token \
|
||||
-e WEBHOOK_SECURITY_MODE=moderate \

# For Docker Compose - add to environment:
|
||||
services:
|
||||
n8n-mcp:
|
||||
environment:
|
||||
WEBHOOK_SECURITY_MODE: moderate
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Security Modes Explained:**
|
||||
- `strict` (default): Blocks localhost + private IPs + cloud metadata (production)
|
||||
- `moderate`: Allows localhost, blocks private IPs + cloud metadata (local development)
|
||||
- `permissive`: Allows localhost + private IPs, blocks cloud metadata (testing only)
|
||||
|
||||
**Important:** Always use `strict` mode in production. Cloud metadata is blocked in all modes.
