Zitadel · Zitadel · CVE-2023-47111
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
ZITADEL versions prior to 2.38.3
ZITADEL versions prior to 2.40.5
**Description**
ZITADEL provides identity infrastructure, allowing administrators to define a `Lockout Policy` with a maximum amount of failed password check attempts. In the affected implementation, an attacker could start multiple parallel password checks, attempting more combinations than configured in the `Lockout Policy`. This allowed the attacker to exceed the lockout limit, potentially leading to unauthorized access.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 2.38.3, update to version 2.38.3 or later.
For versions prior to 2.40.5, update to version 2.40.5 or later.
As a temporary workaround is not applicable since a patch is already available, ensure to apply the patch as soon as possible to prevent exploitation.
