ZITADEL is an open source identity management platform. From 2.68.0 to before 3.4.8 and 4.12.2, Zitadel provides a System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) API to provision users from external providers into Zitadel. Request to the API with URL-encoded path values were correctly routed but would bypass necessary authentication and permission checks. This allowed unauthenticated attackers to retrieve sensitive information such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, external IDs, and roles. Note that due to additional checks when manipulating data, an attacker could not modify or delete any user data. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.4.8 and 4.12.2.
This vulnerability carries a HIGH severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 7.5, indicating it can be exploited remotely over the network with relatively low complexity without requiring user interaction and does not require pre-existing privileges . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), for affected systems. Impacting 1 product from zitadel organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Reported in 2026, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges. Security practices during this period emphasized zero-trust architectures, container security, and API protection.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For zitadel's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
