What changed

The Public API endpoint for retrying executions used `workflow:read` instead of `workflow:execute` for authorization, allowing read-only users to retry executions.

Who it affects

Instances where workflows are shared with other users or across projects, and authenticated users with read-only access to a shared workflow.

What to do today

Upgrade n8n to version 2.25.7 or 2.26.2 or later. If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict workflow sharing to fully trusted users and restrict network access to the Public API.
