SCA: security update for github.com/zitadel/zitadel (GHSA-g2pf-ww5m-2r9m)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438935

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - ZITADEL is an open source identity management platform. Versions prior to 3.4.9 and 4.0.0 through 4.12.2
 allowed users to bypass organization enforcement during authentication. Zitadel allows applications to
 enforce an organzation context during authentication using scopes (urn:zitadel:iam:org:id:{id} and
 urn:zitadel:iam:org:domain:primary:{domainname}). If enforced, a user needs to be part of the required
 organization to sign in. While this was properly enforced for OAuth2/OIDC authorization requests in login
 V1, corresponding controls were missing for device authorization requests and all login V2 and OIDC API V2
 endpoints. This allowed users to bypass the restriction and sign in with users from other organizations.
 Note that this enforcement allows for an additional check during authentication and applications relying
 on authorizations / roles assignments are not affected by this bypass. This issue has been patched in
 versions 3.4.9 and 4.12.3. (CVE-2026-33132)

Solution

Update the github.com/zitadel/zitadel library and its related packages to version 1.80.0-v2.20.0.20260317120401-d90285929ca0 or later.
