CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability allows authenticated users with read-only access to shared workflows in n8n versions prior to 2.25.7 and 2.26.x before 2.26.2 to exploit the Public API execution retry endpoint, enabling them to retry executions without the necessary execute permissions. This poses a risk of unauthorized workflow execution, potentially leading to data exposure or unintended actions within shared environments. Organizations using n8n, particularly those that share workflows across users or projects, should prioritize applying the latest updates to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
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.
