Zitadel CVEs & Vulnerabilities

ZITADEL is an open source identity management platform. From 2.71.11 to before 3.4.10 and 4.15.0, a vulnerability was discovered in Zitadel's LDAP identity provider implementation, which fails to properly escape user-provided usernames before incorporating them into LDAP search filters. This allows unauthenticated attackers to perform LDAP Filter Injection during the login process. While this vulnerability does not allow for a full authentication bypass, an attacker can use LDAP metacharacters (such as *, (, )) to perform blind LDAP injection. By observing the different failure (or success) responses, an attacker can systematically enumerate valid usernames and extract sensitive attribute data from the connected LDAP directory. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.4.10 and 4.15.0.

ZITADEL is an open source identity management platform. Versions prior to 3.4.9 and 4.0.0 through 4.12.2 allowed users to bypass organization enforcement during authentication. Zitadel allows applications to enforce an organzation context during authentication using scopes (urn:zitadel:iam:org:id:{id} and urn:zitadel:iam:org:domain:primary:{domainname}). If enforced, a user needs to be part of the required organization to sign in. While this was properly enforced for OAuth2/OIDC authorization requests in login V1, corresponding controls were missing for device authorization requests and all login V2 and OIDC API V2 endpoints. This allowed users to bypass the restriction and sign in with users from other organizations. Note that this enforcement allows for an additional check during authentication and applications relying on authorizations / roles assignments are not affected by this bypass. This issue has been patched in versions 3.4.9 and 4.12.3.

ZITADEL is an open source identity management platform. Prior to 3.4.8 and 4.12.2, a potential vulnerability exists in Zitadel's passkey registration endpoints. This endpoint allows registering a new passkey using a previously retrieved code. An improper expiration check of the code, could allow an attacker to potentially register their own passkey and gain access to the victim's account. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.4.8 and 4.12.2.

ZITADEL is an open source identity management platform. Prior to 3.4.8 and 4.12.2, a vulnerability in Zitadel's Management API has been reported, which allowed authenticated users holding a valid low-privilege token (e.g., project.read, project.grant.read, or project.app.read) to retrieve management-plane information belonging to other organizations by specifying a different tenant’s project_id, grant_id, or app_id. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.4.8 and 4.12.2.

ZITADEL is an open source identity management platform. From 2.68.0 to before 3.4.8 and 4.12.2, Zitadel provides a System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) API to provision users from external providers into Zitadel. Request to the API with URL-encoded path values were correctly routed but would bypass necessary authentication and permission checks. This allowed unauthenticated attackers to retrieve sensitive information such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, external IDs, and roles. Note that due to additional checks when manipulating data, an attacker could not modify or delete any user data. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.4.8 and 4.12.2.

ZITADEL is an open source identity management platform. From version 4.0.0 to 4.12.0, a vulnerability in Zitadel's login V2 UI allowed users to bypass login behavior and security policies and self-register new accounts or sign in using password even if corresponding options were disabled in their organizaton. This issue has been patched in version 4.12.1.

ZITADEL is an open source identity management platform. From version 4.0.0 to 4.11.1, a vulnerability in Zitadel's login V2 interface was discovered that allowed a possible account takeover via Default URI Redirect. This issue has been patched in version 4.12.0.

ZITADEL is an open source identity management platform. From version 4.0.0 to 4.11.1, a vulnerability in Zitadel's login V2 interface was discovered that allowed a possible account takeover via XSS in /saml-post Endpoint. This issue has been patched in version 4.12.0.

ZITADEL is an open source identity management platform. From version 4.0.0-rc.1 to 4.7.0, a potential vulnerability exists in ZITADEL's password reset mechanism in login V2. ZITADEL utilizes the Forwarded or X-Forwarded-Host header from incoming requests to construct the URL for the password reset confirmation link. This link, containing a secret code, is then emailed to the user. This issue has been patched in version 4.7.1.
