SCA: security update for github.com/zitadel/zitadel, github.com/zitadel/zitadel/v2 (GHSA-cfjq-28r2-4jv5)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 435869

Description

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

- Starting from 2.53.6, 2.54.3, and 2.55.0, Zitadel only required multi factor authentication in case the
login policy has either enabled requireMFA or requireMFAForLocalUsers. If a user has set up MFA without
this requirement, Zitadel would consider single factor auhtenticated sessions as valid as well and not
require multiple factors. Bypassing second authentication factors weakens multifactor authentication and
enables attackers to bypass the more secure factor. An attacker can target the TOTP code alone, only six
digits, bypassing password verification entirely and potentially compromising accounts with 2FA enabled.
This vulnerability is fixed in 4.6.0, 3.4.3, and 2.71.18. (CVE-2025-64103)
