AI-suggested
Upgrade affected ZITADEL instances to the fixed versions: 4.6.6 or later for v4.x, 3.4.4 or later for v3.x, and 2.71.19 or later for v2.x. This patch corrects the validation of an organization's login policy during the auto-linking process. No other workarounds are recommended; applying the official fix is the advised remediation.
Description
ZITADEL contains a vulnerability in its federation process that allows an attacker to bypass organization-specific security settings and auto-link an external identity from a deactivated or disallowed identity provider (IdP) to an existing internal user account. This flaw can lead to a full account takeover unless multi-factor authentication (MFA) is enabled on the targeted account. The issue affects multiple versions across v2.x, v3.x, and v4.x releases and has been fixed in later versions.
