ZITADEL, open source authentication management software, uses Go templates to render the login UI. Due to a improper use of the `text/template` instead of the `html/template` package, the Login UI did not sanitize input parameters prior to versions 2.47.3, 2.46.1, 2.45.1, 2.44.3, 2.43.9, 2.42.15, and 2.41.15. An attacker could create a malicious link, where he injected code which would be rendered as part of the login screen. While it was possible to inject HTML including JavaScript, the execution of such scripts would be prevented by the Content Security Policy. Versions 2.47.3, 2.46.1, 2.45.1, 2.44.3, 2.43.9, 2.42.15, and 2.41.15 contain a patch for this issue. No known workarounds are available.

    ### Impact ZITADEL uses Go templates to render the login UI. Due to a improper use of the `text/template` instead of the `html/template` package, the Login UI did not sanitize input parameters.

While it was possible to inject HTML including javascript, the execution of such scripts would be prevented by the Content Security Policy. ### Patches 2.x versions are fixed on >= [2.47.3](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/releases/tag/v2.47.3) 2.46.x versions are fixed on >= [2.46.1](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/releases/tag/v2.46.1) 2.45.x versions are fixed on >= [2.45.1](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/releases/tag/v2.45.1) 2.44.x versions are fixed on >= [2.44.3](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/releases/tag/v2.44.3) 2.43.x versions are fixed on >= [2.43.9](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/releases/tag/v2.43.9) 2.42.x versions are fixed on >= [2.42.15](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/releases/tag/v2.42.15) 2.41.x versions are fixed on >= [2.41.15](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/releases/tag/v2.41.15) ZITADEL recommends upgrading to the latest versions available in due course. ### Workarounds There is no workaround since a patch is already available. ### Questions If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, please email us at [security@zitadel.com](mailto:security@zitadel.com) ### Credits Thanks to Daniel Philipp - owt and Thomas Wickham - synopsis for reporting this.
