Any low-privileged org member (PR:L) can exploit remotely with low complexity, but an admin must approve the request (UI:R); stealing another user's key crosses security authority (S:C) with high C/I and no availability impact.

Bitwarden Server before 2026.6.0 does not verify that the email in a POST /auth-requests/admin-request body belongs to the authenticated caller, allowing a low-privileged organization member to obtain another user's vault key and a victim-scoped access token by creating a Trusted Device Encryption authentication request, bound to an attacker-controlled public key, that is readable from an unauthenticated endpoint once approved resulting in disclosure of the victim's vault key and account takeover.

Account takeover in self-hosted Bitwarden Server before 2026.6.0 lets a low-privileged organization member steal any other member's vault key and a victim-scoped access token. The POST /auth-requests/admin-request handler never verifies that the email in the request body belongs to the authenticated caller (CWE-639), so an attacker can create a Trusted Device Encryption admin-approval request for a victim, bound to an attacker-controlled public key; once approved, the encrypted key material is retrievable from an unauthenticated endpoint. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must already hold a low-privileged member account in the same Bitwarden organization as the victim (PR:L) and must supply the victim's email plus an attacker-controlled public key in the admin-request body. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine high priority rather than an inflated high-CVSS finding. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker holding an ordinary low-privileged membership in a Bitwarden organization sends a POST /auth-requests/admin-request specifying a victim colleague's email and an attacker-controlled public key. An organization administrator, believing it is a normal device-approval request, approves it; the attacker then fetches the now-approved request from the unauthenticated endpoint, decrypts the victim's vault key with the attacker's private key, and uses the victim-scoped access token to take over the account. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: 2026.6.0 - upgrade self-hosted Bitwarden Server to 2026.6.0 or later, which adds server-side validation that the admin-request Type is AdminApproval and that the authenticated caller's user id matches the target account (PR #7615 / commit dcf4c486b2b5bedecc03a48b427243328cc74a9a). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
