CVE-2026-43912: Vaultwarden: Cross-Org Group Binding Enables Unauthorized Read And Write Access Into Another Organization
Vaultwarden is a Bitwarden-compatible server written in Rust. Prior to 1.35.5, Vaultwarden does not enforce that a groupsusers.usersorganizationsuuid entry belongs to the same organization as groups.groupsuuid, or a collectionsgroups.collectionsuuid entry belongs to the same organization as collectionsgroups.groupsuuid. Multiple organization group-management endpoints accept arbitrary MembershipId and CollectionId values and persist them directly without verifying org consistency. This lets an attacker who is Admin in Organization A, and only a low-privileged member in Organization B bind their Org B membership UUID into an Org A group, then use that foreign group relationship to gain unauthorized access to Org B vault data. With an accessAll=true Org A group, the attacker can make /api/sync and /api/ciphers enumerate Org B ciphers. Once those unauthorized sync results reveal Org B collection IDs, the attacker can also bind those foreign collection IDs to the Org A group and turn the same flaw into write access over Org B items. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.35.5.
