Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

ZITADEL (github.com/zitadel/zitadel) versions before 2.37.3 do not apply the "Ignoring unknown usernames" setting to the password reset flow, though it works during authentication. An attacker who can reach the password reset function can use it to determine whether a given account exists. Upgrade to version 2.37.3 or later. The source lists no workaround.
