Summary

An authorization bypass vulnerability in n8n before 2.25.7 and 2.26.x before 2.26.2 allows authenticated users with read-only access to a shared workflow to retry its executions via the Public API, using the workflow:read scope instead of workflow:execute.

Risk Assessment

The organization risks unauthorized workflow execution retries by users with limited permissions, potentially leading to data integrity issues, resource abuse, or privilege escalation in shared environments.

Recommendation

Upgrade n8n to version 2.25.7 or later (for 2.25.x branch) or to version 2.26.2 or later (for 2.26.x branch). After updating, verify workflow permission configurations.

Original NVD description (English source)

n8n before 2.25.7 and 2.26.x before 2.26.2 contains an authorization bypass in the Public API execution retry endpoint, which authorizes access using the workflow:read scope instead of workflow:execute. An authenticated user with read-only access to a shared workflow can use the Public API to retry executions of that workflow, bypassing the intended permission boundary between read and execute access. This affects instances where workflows are shared with other users or across projects.
