Last modified

CVE-2026-27898 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.4/10 on the CVSS scale. Vaultwarden is an unofficial Bitwarden compatible server written in Rust, formerly known as bitwarden_rs. Prior to version 1.35.4, an authenticated regular user can specify another user’s cipher_id and call "PUT /api/ciphers/{id}/partial" Even though the standard retrieval API correctly denies access to that cipher, the partial update endpoint returns 200 OK and exposes cipherDetails (including name, notes, data, secureNote, etc.). EPSS estimates a 0.17% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
