ZITADEL's User Grant Deactivation not Working

CVE-2024-46999GHSA-2w5j-qfvw-2hf5

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (github.com/zitadel/zitadel/v2 2.62.1, 2.61.1, 2.60.2, 2.59.3, 2.58.5, 2.57.5, 2.56.6, 2.55.8, 2.54.10), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Impact ZITADEL's user grants deactivation mechanism did not work correctly. Deactivated user grants were still provided in token, which could lead to unauthorized access to applications and resources. Additionally, the management and auth API always returned the state as active or did not provide any information about the state. Patches 2.x versions are fixed on = 2.62.1 2.61.x versions are fixed on = 2.61.1 2.60.x versions are fixed on = 2.60.2 2.59.x versions are fixed on = 2.59.3 2.58.x versions are fixed on = 2.58.5 2.57.x versions are fixed on = 2.57.5 2.56.x versions are fixed on = 2.56.6 2.55.x versions are fixed on = 2.55.8 2.54.x versions are fixed on = 2.54.10 Workarounds Unpatched versions can explicitly remove the user grants to make sure the user does not get access anymore.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2024-46999

Advisory: ZITADEL's User Grant Deactivation not Working
IDs: CVE-2024-46999, GHSA-2w5j-qfvw-2hf5
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2024-46999 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:05 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.4)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: github.com/zitadel/zitadel/v2 2.62.1, 2.61.1, 2.60.2, 2.59.3, 2.58.5, 2.57.5, 2.56.6, 2.55.8, 2.54.10. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Go github.com/zitadel/zitadel/v2: affected >= 2.62.0, < 2.62.1; >= 2.61.0, < 2.61.1; >= 2.60.0, < 2.60.2; >= 2.59.0, < 2.59.3; >= 2.58.0, < 2.58.5; >= 2.57.0, < 2.57.5; >= 2.56.0, < 2.56.6; >= 2.55.0, < 2.55.8; < 2.54.10; fixed in 2.58.5, 2.60.2, 2.55.8, 2.59.3, 2.57.5, 2.54.10, 2.61.1, 2.62.1, 2.56.6

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Go github.com/zitadel/zitadel/v2: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on github.com/zitadel/zitadel/v2.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
