Description

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

- Zitadel is open-source identity infrastructure software. Prior to 4.6.0, 3.4.3, and 2.71.18, an attacker
can perform an online brute-force attack on OTP, TOTP, and passwords. While Zitadel allows preventing
online brute force attacks in scenarios like TOTP, Email OTP, or passwords using a lockout mechanism. The
mechanism is not enabled by default and can cause a denial of service for the corresponding user if
enabled. Additionally, the mitigation strategies were not fully implemented in the more recent resource-
based APIs. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.6.0, 3.4.3, and 2.71.18. (CVE-2025-64102)
