CVE-2026-32132 | ZITADEL: Reactivation of Expired Passkey Registration Codes

ZITADEL is an open source identity management platform. Prior to 3.4.8 and 4.12.2, a potential vulnerability exists in Zitadel's passkey registration endpoints. This endpoint allows registering a new passkey using a previously retrieved code. An improper expiration check of the code, could allow an attacker to potentially register their own passkey and gain access to the victim's account. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.4.8 and 4.12.2.

Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:H)
Even with access, the exploit needs extra luck, timing, or a fussy environment to actually work.
Privileges required (PR:N)
No account or special rights needed—anonymous or random user is enough.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:H)
Serious risk that confidential data gets exposed in a big way.
Integrity (I:H)
They could widely tamper with or forge data—trust in the data is badly hurt.
