Description

ZITADEL 3.0.0 before 4.18.0 contains a missing authentication vulnerability in the hosted Login V1 UI, where the change-username handler acts on the account bound to a login flow before any factor is verified. Unauthenticated attackers can submit a victim's login name and then post a new username to rename any active human user, including administrators, locking them out.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Vulnerability
  1. Detect

    Identify every host running the affected component and compare the installed build against the fixed version below — for source-built or distro-packaged software the version string, not a lockfile, is the source of truth (`dpkg -l`, `rpm -q`, or the binary's own `--version`).

  2. Remediation status

    No fixed release is recorded for CVE-2026-109371 yet. Track the upstream advisory, and apply the exposure-reduction steps below in the meantime.

  3. Mitigate without a patch

    Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.
