# Which Problems Are Solved
We noticed logging where 500: Internal Server errors were returned from
the token endpoint, mostly for the `refresh_token` grant. The error was
thrown by the database as it received non-UTF8 strings for token IDs
Zitadel uses symmetric encryption for opaque tokens, including refresh
tokens. Encrypted values are base64 encoded. It appeared to be possible
to send garbage base64 to the token endpoint, which will pass decryption
and string-splitting. In those cases the resulting ID is not a valid
UTF-8 string.
Invalid non-UTF8 strings are now rejected during token decryption.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- `AESCrypto.DecryptString()` checks if the decrypted bytes only contain
valid UTF-8 characters before converting them into a string.
- `AESCrypto.Decrypt()` is unmodified and still allows decryption on
non-UTF8 byte strings.
- `FromRefreshToken` now uses `DecryptString` instead of `Decrypt`
# Additional Changes
- Unit tests added for `FromRefreshToken` and
`AESCrypto.DecryptString()`.
- Fuzz tests added for `FromRefreshToken` and
`AESCrypto.DecryptString()`. This was to pinpoint the problem
- Testdata with values that resulted in invalid strings are committed.
In the pipeline this results in the Fuzz tests to execute as regular
unit-test cases. As we don't use the `-fuzz` flag in the pipeline no
further fuzzing is performed.

# Which Problems Are Solved
ZITADEL currently selects the instance context based on a HTTP header
(see https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/8279#issue-2399959845 and
checks it against the list of instance domains. Let's call it instance
or API domain.
For any context based URL (e.g. OAuth, OIDC, SAML endpoints, links in
emails, ...) the requested domain (instance domain) will be used. Let's
call it the public domain.
In cases of proxied setups, all exposed domains (public domains) require
the domain to be managed as instance domain.
This can either be done using the "ExternalDomain" in the runtime config
or via system API, which requires a validation through CustomerPortal on
zitadel.cloud.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Two new headers / header list are added:
- `InstanceHostHeaders`: an ordered list (first sent wins), which will
be used to match the instance.
(For backward compatibility: the `HTTP1HostHeader`, `HTTP2HostHeader`
and `forwarded`, `x-forwarded-for`, `x-forwarded-host` are checked
afterwards as well)
- `PublicHostHeaders`: an ordered list (first sent wins), which will be
used as public host / domain. This will be checked against a list of
trusted domains on the instance.
- The middleware intercepts all requests to the API and passes a
`DomainCtx` object with the hosts and protocol into the context
(previously only a computed `origin` was passed)
- HTTP / GRPC server do not longer try to match the headers to instances
themself, but use the passed `http.DomainContext` in their interceptors.
- The `RequestedHost` and `RequestedDomain` from authz.Instance are
removed in favor of the `http.DomainContext`
- When authenticating to or signing out from Console UI, the current
`http.DomainContext(ctx).Origin` (already checked by instance
interceptor for validity) is used to compute and dynamically add a
`redirect_uri` and `post_logout_redirect_uri`.
- Gateway passes all configured host headers (previously only did
`x-zitadel-*`)
- Admin API allows to manage trusted domain

# Which Problems Are Solved
The current v3alpha actions APIs don't exactly adhere to the [new
resources API
design](https://zitadel.com/docs/apis/v3#standard-resources).
# How the Problems Are Solved
- **Breaking**: The current v3alpha actions APIs are removed. This is
breaking.
- **Resource Namespace**: New v3alpha actions APIs for targets and
executions are added under the namespace /resources.
- **Feature Flag**: New v3alpha actions APIs still have to be activated
using the actions feature flag
- **Reduced Executions Overhead**: Executions are managed similar to
settings according to the new API design: an empty list of targets
basically makes an execution a Noop. So a single method, SetExecution is
enough to cover all use cases. Noop executions are not returned in
future search requests.
- **Compatibility**: The executions created with previous v3alpha APIs
are still available to be managed with the new executions API.
# Additional Changes
- Removed integration tests which test executions but rely on readable
targets. They are added again with #8169
# Additional Context

# Which Problems Are Solved
ZITADEL administrators can enable a setting called "Ignoring unknown
usernames" which helps mitigate attacks that try to guess/enumerate
usernames. If enabled, ZITADEL will show the password prompt even if the
user doesn't exist and report "Username or Password invalid".
Due to a implementation change to prevent deadlocks calling the
database, the flag would not be correctly respected in all cases and an
attacker would gain information if an account exist within ZITADEL,
since the error message shows "object not found" instead of the generic
error message.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Proper check of the error using an error function / type and
`errors.Is`

# Which Problems Are Solved
ZITADEL uses HTML for emails and renders certain information such as
usernames dynamically. That information can be entered by users or
administrators. Due to a missing output sanitization, these emails could
include malicious code.
This may potentially lead to a threat where an attacker, without
privileges, could send out altered notifications that are part of the
registration processes. An attacker could create a malicious link, where
the injected code would be rendered as part of the email.
During investigation of this issue a related issue was found and
mitigated, where on the user's detail page the username was not
sanitized and would also render HTML, giving an attacker the same
vulnerability.
While it was possible to inject HTML including javascript, the execution
of such scripts would be prevented by most email clients and the Content
Security Policy in Console UI.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- All arguments used for email are sanitized (`html.EscapeString`)
- The email text no longer `html.UnescapeString` (HTML in custom text is
still possible)
- Console no longer uses `[innerHtml]` to render the username

This fixes a problem where the org settings were hidden.
The console reads the context from either a query param or the local
storage. When one context was found, it executed a single request with
orgId filter. This let to a single org and then to a hidden org setting,
as we hide org settings for instances with a single result.

# Which Problems Are Solved
The initial load of the login UI with dark mode preference
(prefers-color-scheme: dark) first rendered the logo configured for
light mode. Also switching from dark to light or vice versa would result
in the same behavior.
This was due to a mixed logic of server (based on cookie) and client
(prefers-color-scheme and cookie) deciding which mode to render.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Since the main logic of which mode to use (`prefers-color-scheme`) can
only be achieve client side, both logos will be served in the HTML and
either will be rendered based on CSS.

Safari | Supports up to 80000 characters for a URL
Opera | Can display up to 190000 characters in its address bar

User created through the User V2 API without any authentication method
and possibly unverified email address was not able to login through the
current hosted login UI.
An unverified email address would result in a mail verification and not
an initialization mail like it would with the management API. Also the
login UI would then require the user to enter the init code, which the
user never received.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- When verifying the email through the login UI, it will check for
existing auth methods (password, IdP, passkeys). In case there are none,
the user will be prompted to set a password.
- When a user was created through the V2 API with a verified email and
no auth method, the user will be prompted to set a password in the login
UI.
- Since setting a password requires a corresponding code, the code will
be generated and sent when login in.
# Additional Changes

eventstore instead of getting it from query.

# Which Problems Are Solved
Both the login UI and the IdP intent flow have their own IdP callback
endpoints.
This makes configuration hard to impossible (e.g. Github only allows one
endpoint) for customers.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- The login UI prefixes the `state` parameter when creating an auth /
SAML request.
- All requests now use the `/idp/callback` or the corresponding
variation (e.g. SAML)
- On callback, the state, resp. its prefix is checked. In case of the
login UI prefix, the request will be forwarded to the existing login UI
handler without the prefix state.
Existing setups will therefore not be affected and also requests started
before this release can be handled without any impact.
- Console only lists the "new" endpoint(s). Any
`/login/externalidp/callback` is removed.
