CWE-346  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade github.com/zitadel/zitadel/internal/api to version 3.4.12, 4.15.2 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Origin Validation Error in the JWT validation process. An attacker can gain unauthorized access by presenting a validly signed token from a trusted issuer, originally intended for a different service, to the authentication system. This is only exploitable if the attacker possesses a valid user token from a shared, trusted issuer and the deployment uses an external Identity Provider with overlapping trust boundaries.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by ensuring the external Identity Provider issues tokens with unique, non-overlapping audience values, or by deploying a reverse proxy, API gateway, or Web Application Firewall to inspect and drop requests where the aud field does not match the intended deployment target.
