On common self-hosted deployments this can be chained to steal bootstrap credentials (including the Login Client PAT) and escalate from a single-tenant organization owner to instance administrator.\n\n### Impact\n\nZITADEL Actions V1 run custom JavaScript inside the ZITADEL server process at OIDC, SAML, and login-flow trigger points. The runtime enables the goja Node-compatible `require()` registry without restricting the source loader, so Action scripts can load host files readable by the ZITADEL process (notably `.js` and `.json`, and in some cases other file contents via error channels).\n\nAn attacker with **ORG_OWNER** on any organization (which includes `org.action.write` and `org.flow.write`) can therefore:\n\n* Read process-readable host files, including configuration or secrets mounted into the API container (for example service-account material, projected secrets, or config carrying sensitive values).\n* On deployments that follow ZITADEL’s documented bootstrap paths (`ZITADEL_FIRSTINSTANCE_LOGINCLIENTPATPATH`, `ZITADEL_FIRSTINSTANCE_MACHINEKEYPATH`), recover instance-wide credentials such as the **IAM_LOGIN_CLIENT** PAT or the **IAM_OWNER** service-account key, enabling escalation to full instance control.\n\nThis collapses the expected multi-tenant isolation boundary: a tenant organization administrator is not meant to access host filesystem secrets or instance-wide credentials.\n\n**Scope note:** This issue affects **Actions V1**. Host command execution was not identified as part of this vulnerability. Impact depends on what the ZITADEL process can read on disk and on deployment layout — documented Compose and quick-start setups that write bootstrap PATs or machine keys into the API container amplify severity.\n\n### Affected Versions\n\nSystems running one of the following versions are affected:\n\n* **4.x:** `4.0.0` through `4.16.0` (including RC versions)\n* **3.x:** `3.0.0` through `3.4.12` (including RC versions)\n\n### Patches\n\nThe vulnerability has been addressed in the latest releases. The patch disables filesystem-backed module loading for Action scripts so that only the intended native `zitadel/*` modules can be required.\n\n* **4.x**: Upgrade to $\\ge$ [4.16.1](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/releases/tag/v4.16.1)\n* **3.x**: Upgrade to $\\ge$ [3.4.13](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/releases/tag/v3.4.13)\n\n### Workarounds\n\nIf an immediate upgrade is not possible:\n\n* Restrict who can create, update, or attach Actions — do not grant `org.action.write` / `org.flow.write` (or **ORG_OWNER**) to untrusted administrators in multi-tenant environments.\n* Audit existing Actions for `require()` of filesystem paths.\n* Remove or relocate bootstrap credential files (`login-client.pat`, machine keys) so they are not readable inside the API process filesystem.\n* Limit host filesystem exposure for the ZITADEL process (no unnecessary readable secrets beside the binary).\n\n### Questions\n\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory, please email us at [security@zitadel.com](mailto:security@zitadel.com)\n\n### Credits\n\nThanks to Dor Konis ([@dkonis](https://github.com/dkonis)) and Feras Daragma ([@FerasTr](https://github.com/FerasTr)) from GE Vernova, and to [pyuysig](https://github.com/pyuysig), for finding and reporting this vulnerability.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-09-24T18:19:32+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-01T20:56:14.5974246+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/zitadel/zitadel","ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"kind":"introduced","version":"0"},{"kind":"fixed","version":"1.80.0-v2.20.0.20260717062331-baf6ed501b68"}]}],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":null}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS_V3","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N","score":null,"severity":null},{"system":"Publisher rating","vector":null,"score":null,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/security/advisories/GHSA-fgmf-7rf8-m6vf","https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/commit/afe108640cf57a17e8b743fbcdad9ae636eb3eb7","https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/commit/baf6ed501b684f47048553d9034e8d3aa824950e","https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/commit/e28d6bcc033368c3e9683ee15c195b8460b9305d","https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel","https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/releases/tag/v3.4.13","https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/releases/tag/v4.16.1"],"sourceUrl":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-fgmf-7rf8-m6vf","license":"GitHub Advisory Database · CC-BY-4.0","key":"osv:GHSA-fgmf-7rf8-m6vf","identifiers":["GHSA-fgmf-7rf8-m6vf","CVE-2026-85057","GO-2026-6591"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]},{"revision":"0c5e9a7fdc7d49b1b5fc110689802a3a","observedAt":"2026-10-24T13:19:41.952+00:00","statement":{"source":"osv","id":"GO-2026-6591","aliases":["CVE-2026-85057","GHSA-fgmf-7rf8-m6vf"],"title":"ZITADEL: Actions V1 sandbox escape: host file read via require() in github.com/zitadel/zitadel","description":"ZITADEL: Actions V1 sandbox escape: host file read via require() in github.com/zitadel/zitadel","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-01T20:23:38+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-01T20:45:15.0782728+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/zitadel/zitadel","ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"kind":"introduced","version":"0"},{"kind":"fixed","version":"1.80.0-v2.20.0.20260717062331-baf6ed501b68"}]}],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":null}],"metrics":[],"references":["https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/security/advisories/GHSA-fgmf-7rf8-m6vf","https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/commit/afe108640cf57a17e8b743fbcdad9ae636eb3eb7","https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/commit/baf6ed501b684f47048553d9034e8d3aa824950e","https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/commit/e28d6bcc033368c3e9683ee15c195b8460b9305d","https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/releases/tag/v3.4.13","https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/releases/tag/v4.16.1"],"sourceUrl":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2026-6591","license":"OSV · upstream source license applies","key":"osv:GO-2026-6591","identifiers":["GO-2026-6591","CVE-2026-85057","GHSA-fgmf-7rf8-m6vf"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
