Package	Ecosystem	Affected	Fixed in

Machine-written summary

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

ZITADEL versions 3.0.0 through 3.4.11 and 4.0.0 through 4.15.1 (including release candidates) fail to reject JWTs from external identity providers that omit the exp claim, so such tokens are accepted as valid indefinitely. An attacker holding such a token could keep using it without any expiration or revocation window. Upgrade to 3.4.12 or 4.15.2 or later. As a workaround, ensure the external identity provider includes the exp claim in all signed JWTs.
