Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Zitadel is an open source identity management platform. In Zitadel, even after an organization is deactivated, associated projects, respectively their applications remain active. Users across other organizations can still log in and access through these applications, leading to unauthorized access. Additionally, if a project was deactivated access to applications was also still possible. The issue stems from the fact that when an organization is deactivated in Zitadel, the applications associated with it do not automatically deactivate. The application lifecycle is not tightly coupled with the organization's lifecycle, leading to a situation where the organization or project is marked as inactive, but its resources remain accessible. This vulnerability allows for unauthorized access to projects and their resources, which should have been restricted post-organization deactivation. Versions 2.62.1, 2.61.1, 2.60.2, 2.59.3, 2.58.5, 2.57.5, 2.56.6, 2.55.8, and 2.54.10 have been released which address this issue. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may explicitly disable the application to make sure the client is not allowed anymore.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis
How this class of weakness works · CWE-200

The application discloses data — error detail, internal paths, tokens, or other users' records — to someone who shouldn't see it. On its own it can look minor, but it hands attackers the map they need for a larger attack. Remediation is about minimising what's returned and enforcing authorization on every piece of data.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to version 2.62.1 (latest stable) or at minimum one of: 2.54.10, 2.55.8, 2.56.6, 2.57.5, 2.58.5, 2.59.3, 2.60.2, 2.61.1

  1. 1. Identify your current Zitadel version using your deployment's version check method
  2. 2. Determine the appropriate upgrade path based on your current version - you must upgrade to one of the fixed versions: 2.54.10, 2.55.8, 2.56.6, 2.57.5, 2.58.5, 2.59.3, 2.60.2, 2.61.1, or 2.62.1
  3. 3. Review Zitadel upgrade documentation for your deployment method (Docker, Kubernetes, etc.)
  4. 4. Perform a backup of your Zitadel database before upgrading
  5. 5. Execute the upgrade following the official Zitadel upgrade guide
  6. 6. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the version number
  7. 7. As a supplementary precaution, review all applications in your organization and explicitly disable any that should no longer be accessible using the Zitadel console or API
  8. 8. Test authentication flows to confirm applications are properly linked to their organization's active state
Caveat Review Zitadel release notes for your target version to check for any breaking changes between your current and target version; minor version upgrades typically have minimal breaking changes
