n8n before 1.123.55, 2.25.7, and 2.26.2 contains an authorization vulnerability in three mutating evaluation test-run endpoints that authorize state-changing actions using the workflow:read scope instead of the action-appropriate workflow:execute scope. On instances using Advanced Permissions (Enterprise/Cloud) with projects and viewer roles, an authenticated user with the project:viewer role can start new evaluation test runs, cancel in-flight runs, and delete run records for workflows they only have read access to.

- WID-SEC-W-2026-1875n8n: Mehrere SchwachstellenDeutsch2026-06-10csaf · cert_bundDE
Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in n8n ausnutzen, um beliebigen Code auszuführen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, SQL-Injection- und Cross-Site-Scripting-Angriffe durchzuführen, Daten zu manipulieren, einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand zu verursachen oder vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen, was weitere Angriffe einschließlich einer Rechteausweitung ermöglichen kann.

## Impact Three mutating endpoints in the evaluation test runs controller authorized state-changing actions using `workflow:read` instead of the action-appropriate `workflow:execute` scope. An authenticated user with `project:viewer` role on a project could start new evaluation test runs, cancel in-flight runs, and delete run records for workflows they only had read access to. This issue only affects instances with Advanced Permissions (Enterprise/Cloud) where projects and viewer roles are in use. ## Patches The issue has been fixed in n8n versions 1.123.55, 2.25.7, and 2.26.2. Users should upgrade to one of these versions or later to remediate the vulnerability. ## Workarounds If upgrading is not immediately possible, administrators should consider the following temporary mitigations: - Restrict project membership to fully trusted users only. - Avoid granting viewer access to projects containing sensitive workflows. These workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.
