Zitadel's User Service discloses the total number of instance users to unauthorized users.
The ZITADEL User Service exposes the total number of users within an instance to any authenticated user, regardless of their specific permissions. While this does not leak individual user data or PII, disclosing the total user count via the totalResult field constitutes an information disclosure vulnerability that may be sensitive in certain contexts.
Systems running one of the following version are affected:
4.0.0-rc.1 through 4.7.13.0.0-rc.1 through 3.4.42.44.0 through 2.71.19The vulnerability has been addressed in the latest release. The patch resolves the issue and returns the totalResult value corresponding to the number of instance users for whom the querying user has read permission.
The recommended solution is to update Zitadel to a patched version.
If a version upgrade is not possible, you can enable the permissionCheckV2 feature on your instance.
