NewCVE-2026-56778 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade n8n to version 2.25.7, 2.26.2 or higher.
Overview
n8n is a n8n Workflow Automation Tool
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in the Public API execution retry endpoint, which authorizes the request against the workflow:read permission instead of workflow:execute. A user with only workflow:read access to a shared workflow can run workflow retries they are not permitted to execute by calling the Public API retry endpoint. Exploitation requires the workflow to be shared with the user or across projects, and the retry runs the workflow, which can read data or change state within that workflow's scope.
