Description

ZITADEL 3.0.0 before 4.19.2 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the Login V2 UI that allows unauthenticated attackers to obtain other users' session tokens by forging unsigned session cookies. Attackers can guess time-ordered session IDs around a victim's sign-in and supply them with empty tokens to receive rotated tokens, taking over accounts including MFA-completed administrator sessions.

• CWE-441Unintended Proxy or Intermediary ('Confused Deputy')The product receives a request, message, or directive from an upstream component, but the product does not sufficiently preserve the original source of the request before forwarding the request to an external actor that is outside of the product's control sphere. This causes the product to appear to be the source of the request, leading it to act as a proxy or other intermediary between the upstream component and the external actor.
