1.1 Workflow description

Title
JavaScriptSentry: detect sensitive information in JavaScript
Workflow name
JavaScriptSentry: detect sensitive information in JavaScript

This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n.

How It works:

When the user clicks "Execute Workflow" they are prompted for a URL, from there the Puppeteer node extracts JavaScript links from the provided URL.

The links are then filtered down to ones that are relevant to the original URL that was quieried.

From there an AI Agent searches the provided JavaScript links for API Keys, email addresses, and PII leaks.

Finally a report is generated and sent via gmail to a desired destination. The report contains discovered links as well as any sensitive information that may have been found.

Why It's Useful:

This is a great tool for Cybersecurity testing.

  • For Developers, make sure your scripts are clean and you didn't leave anything behind.
  • For Ethical Hackers, this is a great tool for Bug Bounties by discovering sensitive information hidden in JavaScript.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/5497/5497.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
