AI-Generated

The OAuth2 Token Exchange endpoint in ZITADEL versions prior to 4.15.3 is vulnerable, allowing attackers to exploit low-privilege tokens to gain elevated permissions by bypassing scope verification. This could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive resources within integrated applications. Organizations using affected versions of ZITADEL should prioritize upgrading to version 4.15.3 to mitigate potential security risks.

Original NVD Description

ZITADEL is an open source identity management platform. Prior to 4.15.3, ZITADEL's OAuth2 Token Exchange endpoint for urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:token-exchange does not verify that the subject token belongs to the requesting client or that requested scopes remain within the original token's scopes, allowing a low-privilege token to be exchanged for elevated permissions at another application. This issue is fixed in version 4.15.3.
