AI-suggested
Since the vulnerability affects versions prior to 2026.5.0, upgrading to version 2026.5.0 or later is likely to address the issue once an official fix is released. Until then, organizations should review event integration templates and consider restricting user-controlled tokens in templates or sanitizing user input to mitigate injection risks.
Description
Bitwarden Server before 2026.5.0 contains a JSON injection vulnerability in IntegrationTemplateProcessor.ReplaceTokens(), which substitutes user-controlled values into event-integration templates without JSON encoding. When an organization has configured an event integration whose template references a user-controlled token (such as #ActingUserName# or #UserName#, populated from a member's display name), an authenticated member can set their display name to JSON metacharacters and inject arbitrary key-value pairs into the rendered payloads delivered to webhook, SIEM, Slack, Teams, or Datadog endpoints, making injected fields indistinguishable from legitimate template output.
