CVE-2026-109372 Details
Description
ZITADEL 4.x before 4.19.2 and 3.x through 3.4.15 contains an authentication bypass in the SAML identity-provider intent callback, which verifies the assertion signature using the provider named in the request URL but resolves the user from the login intent without checking they match. Attackers with organization-administrator permission can register a SAML provider with their own signing key to obtain authenticated sessions as any user linked to another SAML provider on the instance, including in other organizations.
An authentication bypass vulnerability has been identified in ZITADEL versions 4.x prior to 4.19.2 and 3.x through 3.4.15. The issue arises in the SAML identity-provider intent callback, which is used to complete external SAML logins. The callback verifies the assertion signature using the provider specified in the request URL but fails to ensure that it matches the user from the login intent. This flaw allows attackers with organization-administrator permission to register a SAML provider with their own signing key and obtain authenticated sessions as any user linked to a different SAML provider on the same instance, including users in other organizations.
Users are advised to upgrade to ZITADEL version 4.19.2 or later. For those on the 3.x release line, which has reached end-of-life, the only option is to upgrade to a patched 4.x release.
