ZITADEL is an open source identity management platform. Prior to 3.4.12 and 4.15.2, ZITADEL's external JWT Identity Provider validates a token's signature and issuer (iss) but not the audience (aud) claim, allowing a validly signed token from a trusted issuer for another relying party to be accepted by ZITADEL. This issue is fixed in versions 3.4.12 and 4.15.2.
CVE-2026-55669
This medium-severity CVE scores 4.2 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.1%, top 98% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
