DescriptionCVE.org

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.

AnalysisAI

JSON injection in Bitwarden Server's IntegrationTemplateProcessor.ReplaceTokens() allows authenticated organization members to corrupt event-integration payloads delivered to webhook, SIEM, Slack, Teams, or Datadog endpoints. Any organization running Bitwarden Server prior to 2026.5.0 that has configured event integrations referencing user-controlled tokens such as #ActingUserName

or #UserName

is exposed. A public proof-of-concept exists per VulnCheck and independent researcher disclosure; exploitation is constrained by authentication and specific integration-configuration prerequisites, reflected in the low CVSS 4.0 score of 2.3.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability resides in IntegrationTemplateProcessor.ReplaceTokens() within the Bitwarden Server codebase (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:bitwarden:server:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). Event-integration templates perform string substitution of user-controlled tokens - specifically display-name tokens like #ActingUserName

and #UserName

- into JSON payloads without applying JSON encoding or escaping metacharacters. This is a CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component - Injection) flaw: because the output format is JSON, omitting encoding allows a user-supplied string to break out of its intended string context and introduce arbitrary key-value pairs. The rendered payloads are then delivered externally to webhooks, SIEMs, Slack, Teams, and Datadog, meaning injected fields propagate to downstream consumers where they may influence alerting logic, log correlation, or automated response workflows and appear indistinguishable from legitimate template output.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Bitwarden Server to version 2026.5.0 or later, which contains the fix committed in a26afd18130ef985ede5c97d277820d045185a28 and documented in PR #7593 (https://github.com/bitwarden/server/pull/7593) and the release page (https://github.com/bitwarden/server/releases/tag/v2026.5.0). Organizations unable to patch immediately can reduce exposure by auditing all configured event integrations and removing or rewriting templates that reference user-controlled tokens such as #ActingUserName

or #UserName#; substituting only system-generated or admin-controlled values eliminates the injection surface at the cost of reduced event context in downstream payloads. A further compensating control is restricting organization membership to trusted internal users, as exploitation requires an authenticated member account, though this limits collaboration. Downstream webhook and SIEM consumers should treat all ingested Bitwarden event payloads as potentially tainted until the server is patched, and schema validation on inbound webhook data can prevent injected fields from influencing automated logic.
