Summary
ZITADEL versions 3.0.0 through 3.4.15 and 4.0.0 before 4.19.5 contain a missing authorization flaw in Login V2 (CWE-862). Attackers can approve OAuth 2.0 device authorizations using a victim's existing session without consent. A signed-in user who opens an attacker's link can have tokens obtained for the attacker, and project access settings can be bypassed through the OIDC device authorization API.
