# Which Problems Are Solved
A customer reached out that after an upgrade, actions would always fail
with the error "host is denied" when calling an external API.
This is due to a security fix
(https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/security/advisories/GHSA-6cf5-w9h3-4rqv),
where a DNS lookup was added to check whether the host name resolves to
a denied IP or subnet.
If the lookup fails due to the internal DNS setup, the action fails as
well. Additionally, the lookup was also performed when the deny list was
empty.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Prevent DNS lookup when deny list is empty
- Properly initiate deny list and prevent empty entries
# Additional Changes
- Log the reason for blocked address (domain, IP, subnet)
# Additional Context
- reported by a customer
- needs backport to 2.70.x, 2.71.x and 3.0.0 rc
(cherry picked from commit 4ffd4ef381)
# Which Problems Are Solved
We found some paths in the login UI, where requests without any
`AuthRequest` were not handled correctly and could potentially panic.
This also includes providing the `AuthRequest` as part of `ctx` object
in actions V1.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Check for the existance of an `AuthRequest` were needed and return an
error otherwise.
- Provide correct state of the `AuthRequest` for actions V1
# Additional Changes
None
# Additional Context
- Noticed as part of a support request
- requires backport to at least 2.70.x

# Which Problems Are Solved
ZITADEL allows the use of JSON Web Token (JWT) Profile OAuth 2.0 for Authorization Grants in machine-to-machine (M2M) authentication. Multiple keys can be managed for a single machine account (service user), each with an individual expiry.
A vulnerability existed where expired keys can be used to retrieve tokens. Specifically, ZITADEL fails to properly check the expiration date of the JWT key when used for Authorization Grants. This allows an attacker with an expired key to obtain valid access tokens.
This vulnerability does not affect the use of JWT Profile for OAuth 2.0 Client Authentication on the Token and Introspection endpoints, which correctly reject expired keys.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Added proper validation of the expiry of the stored public key.

# Which Problems Are Solved
The username entered by the user was resp. replaced by the stored user's username. This provided a possibility to enumerate usernames as unknown usernames were not normalized.
# How the Problems Are Solved

# Which Problems Are Solved
With current provided telemetry it's difficult to predict when a
projection handler is under increased load until it's too late and
causes downstream issues. Importantly, projection updating is in the
critical path for many login flows and increased latency there can
result in system downtime for users.
# How the Problems Are Solved
This PR adds three new prometheus-style metrics:
1. **projection_events_processed** (_labels: projection, success_) -
This metric gives us a counter of the number of events processed per
projection update run and whether they we're processed without error. A
high number of events being processed can let us know how busy a
particular projection handler is.
2. **projection_handle_timer** _(labels: projection)_ - This is the time
it takes to process a projection update given a batch of events - time
to take the current_states lock, query for new events, reduce,
update_the projection, and update current_states.
3. **projection_state_latency** _(labels: projection)_ - This is the
time from the last event processed in the current_states table for a
given projection. It tells us how old was the last event you processed?
Or, how far behind are you running for this projection? Higher latencies
could mean high load or stalled projection handling.
# Additional Changes
I also had to initialize the global otel metrics provider (`metrics.M`)
in the `setup` step additionally to `start` since projection handlers
are initialized at setup. The initialization checks if a metrics
provider is already set (in case of `start-from-setup` or
`start-from-init` to prevent overwriting, which causes the otel metrics
provider to stop working.

# Which Problems Are Solved
Quota notification integration test failed sometimes due to eventual
consistency issues, which resulted in calls which should have been
counted to the quota not being added. This resulted in flaky integration
tests as the expected API calls to be limited were executed normally.
# How the Problems Are Solved
As there is no API call to query the currently applied Quota, there was
a sleep added as a last effort, to give some time that the event gets
processed into the projection.

# Which Problems Are Solved
When using a custom / new login UI and an OIDC application with
registered BackChannelLogoutUI, no logout requests were sent to the URI
when the user signed out.

# How the Problems Are Solved
- Properly pass `TriggerOrigin` information to session.TerminateEvent
creation and implement `OriginEvent` interface.
- Implemented `RegisterLogout` in `CreateOIDCSessionFromAuthRequest` and

# Which Problems Are Solved
Some OAuth2 and OIDC providers require the use of PKCE for all their
clients. While ZITADEL already recommended the same for its clients, it
did not yet support the option on the IdP configuration.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- A new boolean `use_pkce` is added to the add/update generic OAuth/OIDC
endpoints.
- A new checkbox is added to the generic OAuth and OIDC provider
templates.
- The `rp.WithPKCE` option is added to the provider if the use of PKCE
has been set.
- The `rp.WithCodeChallenge` and `rp.WithCodeVerifier` options are added
to the OIDC/Auth BeginAuth and CodeExchange function.
- Store verifier or any other persistent argument in the intent or auth
request.
- Create corresponding session object before creating the intent, to be
able to store the information.
- (refactored session structs to use a constructor for unified creation
and better overview of actual usage)
Here's a screenshot showing the URI including the PKCE params:

# Which Problems Are Solved
The OAuth2 Device Authorization Grant could not yet been handled through
the new login UI, resp. using the session API.
This PR adds the ability for the login UI to get the required
information to display the user and handle their decision (approve with
authorization or deny) using the OIDC Service API.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Added a `GetDeviceAuthorizationRequest` endpoint, which allows getting
the `id`, `client_id`, `scope`, `app_name` and `project_name` of the
device authorization request
- Added a `AuthorizeOrDenyDeviceAuthorization` endpoint, which allows to
approve/authorize with the session information or deny the request. The
identification of the request is done by the `device_authorization_id` /
`id` returned in the previous request.
- To prevent leaking the `device_code` to the UI, but still having an
easy reference, it's encrypted and returned as `id`, resp. decrypted
when used.
- Fixed returned error types for device token responses on token
endpoint:
- Explicitly return `access_denied` (without internal error) when user
denied the request
- Default to `invalid_grant` instead of `access_denied`
- Explicitly check on initial state when approving the reqeust
- Properly handle done case (also relates to initial check)
- Documented the flow and handling in custom UIs (according to OIDC /
SAML)
# Additional Changes
- fixed some typos and punctuation in the corresponding OIDC / SAML
guides.
- added some missing translations for auth and saml request

Project creation always requires a user as project owner, in case of a
system user creating the project, there is no valid user existing at
that moment.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Remove the initially created project owner membership, as this is
something which was necessary in old versions, and all should work
perfectly without.
The call to add a project automatically designates the calling user as
the project owner, which is irrelevant currently, as this user always
already has higher permissions to be able to even create the project.

# Which Problems Are Solved
Through configuration on projects, there can be additional permission
checks enabled through an OIDC or SAML flow, which were not included in

# How the Problems Are Solved
Add permission check through the query-side of Zitadel in a singular SQL
query, when an OIDC or SAML flow should be linked to a SSO session. That
way it is eventual consistent, but will not impact the performance on
the eventstore. The permission check is defined in the API, which
provides the necessary function to the command side.
# Additional Changes
Added integration tests for the permission check on OIDC and SAML
service for every combination.
Corrected session list integration test, to content checks without
ordering.
Corrected get auth and saml request integration tests, to check for
timestamp of creation, not start of test.

# Which Problems Are Solved
When implementing simple stateless event processor, `the
user.grant.changed` bears too little information: just grant id and list
of role keys. This makes it impossible to change a users permissions
solely based on available role keys and requires to either:
- Store a mapping grant id -> user id, making a service stateful
- Make an extra call to zitadel to resolve user id by grant id (And it
doesn't seem that such an endpoint exists)
Same with `user.grant.removed` events.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Added `userId` field to `user.grant.changed` and `user.grant.removed`
events
# Additional Changes
`user.grant.removed` now has `projectId` and `grantId` as well
