ZITADEL is missing enforcement of organization scopes
Exploitation and risk
Source statusCISA KEV lists vulnerabilities known to be exploited. FIRST EPSS estimates the likelihood of exploitation in the next 30 days. An unavailable score does not mean zero risk.
Which CVEs have scores here?
This view includes predictions for CVE identifiers explicitly listed in public NuGet advisories. Microsoft release pages have their own prediction coverage. Check source status for the scope and latest checks.
No exploitation or prediction data is available here for these CVEs. This does not mean they are safe or unlikely to be exploited.

PublishedZITADEL 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.

Published### Summary A vulnerability in Zitadel's OAuth2/OIDC interface, which allowed users to bypass organization enforcement during authentication. ### Impact Zitadel allows applications to enforce an organzation context during authentication using [scopes](https://zitadel.com/docs/apis/openidoauth/scopes#reserved-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. ### Affected Versions Systems running one of the following versions are affected: - **4.x**: `4.0.0` through `4.12.2` (including RC versions) - **3.x**: `3.0.0` through `3.4.8` (including RC versions) ### Patches The vulnerability has been addressed in the latest releases. The patch resolves the issue by validating the provided scopes and enforcing the organization existence when processing the authorization request. Additionally it will prevent the use of a session of a user which does not belong to the required organization on the OIDC service endpoints ([CreateCallback](https://zitadel.com/docs/reference/api/oidc/zitadel.oidc.v2.OIDCService.CreateCallback) and [Authorize or Deny Device Authorization](https://zitadel.com/docs/reference/api/oidc/zitadel.oidc.v2.OIDCService.AuthorizeOrDenyDeviceAuthorization) endpoints). 4.x: Upgrade to >=[4.12.3](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/releases/tag/v4.12.3) 3.x: Update to >=[3.4.9](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/releases/tag/v3.4.9) ### Workarounds The recommended solution is to upgrade to a patched version. ### Questions If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, please email us at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) ### Credits Thanks to @motoki317 for reporting this vulnerability.
