Technical details

An authorization bypass exists in the POST /workflows/{workflowId}/test-runs/new endpoint of n8n. The application incorrectly validates the 'workflow:read' scope instead of the required 'workflow:execute' scope when a user attempts to trigger a new evaluation test run. An authenticated attacker with low privileges (read-only access) can exploit this to trigger a real execution of a workflow via the internal runner. This can result in unintended outbound API calls and data mutations in any downstream systems connected to the workflow. The vulnerability is fixed in versions 1.123.55, 2.25.7, and 2.26.2.
