Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes. It can be exploited remotely by sending crafted requests to the affected ZITADEL instance, provided the attacker can influence the Forwarded or X-Forwarded-Host headers and convince a user to follow the resulting password reset link.

What level of access does an attacker need?

The attacker needs network access to the ZITADEL login endpoint and the ability to inject or control relevant forwarding headers, which may occur through a misconfigured proxy, shared infrastructure, or in some cases direct header manipulation. They also need to induce the target user to click the manipulated reset link.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The safest pattern is to stop deriving security-sensitive URLs from request headers and instead use a fixed, trusted base URL defined in application configuration. Any dynamic host or redirect logic should be constrained to a strict list of allowed domains and validated before use.
