VulnerabilityCVE-2026-43912cvecve-2026-43912cwe-285
Published: Mon May 11 2026 (05/11/2026, 21:56:30 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: dani-garcia
Product: vaultwarden

Description

Vaultwarden versions prior to 1. 35. 5 contain an improper authorization vulnerability that allows an attacker with admin privileges in one organization and low privileges in another to escalate access improperly. The flaw arises because Vaultwarden does not verify that group and collection membership entries belong to the same organization, enabling cross-organization binding of membership and collection IDs. This can lead to unauthorized read and write access to vault data across organizations. The vulnerability is identified as CWE-285 and has a CVSS score of 8. 7 (high severity). A fix is available in version 1. 35. 5.

Technical Analysis

Vaultwarden, a Bitwarden-compatible server, prior to version 1.35.5, fails to enforce organizational consistency checks on group and collection membership entries. Specifically, it does not verify that entries in groups_users.users_organizations_uuid correspond to the same organization as groups.groups_uuid, nor that collections_groups.collections_uuid correspond to collections_groups.groups_uuid. This allows an attacker who is an admin in Organization A and a low-privileged member in Organization B to bind their Organization B membership UUID into an Organization A group. By exploiting this, the attacker can enumerate and access Organization B's vault data through Organization A's group relationships, including reading and writing vault items. The vulnerability is fixed in Vaultwarden 1.35.5.

Potential Impact

An attacker with admin privileges in one organization and low privileges in another can bypass authorization controls to gain unauthorized read and write access to vault data in the second organization. This leads to a confidentiality and integrity breach of sensitive vault information across organizational boundaries. The CVSS score of 8.7 reflects the high impact on confidentiality and integrity, with no impact on availability.

Mitigation Recommendations

This vulnerability is fixed in Vaultwarden version 1.35.5. Users should upgrade to version 1.35.5 or later to remediate this issue. No other mitigation or temporary workaround is indicated. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor advisory stating the fix is included in version 1.35.5.
