CVE-2026-32130 — ZITADEL is an open source identity management platform

High CVSS 7.5

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.

Matched remediation archetype

Authentication bypass and missing authentication

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Map every affected endpoint and protocol path, including alternate ports, legacy routes, recovery flows, service accounts, and machine-to-machine access.
  • Confirm which deployments enable the affected authentication mode and whether the interface is reachable from untrusted networks.
  • Review session, token, credential, and proxy trust configuration without attempting account takeover.

Remediate safely

  • Apply the supported fix and centralize fail-closed authentication before protected request handling.
  • Remove default or embedded credentials, rotate affected secrets and sessions, and bind authentication decisions to the intended audience and channel.
  • Add negative tests for alternate routes, malformed or absent credentials, recovery flows, and proxy-derived identity.
