CVE-2026-43911
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Vaultwarden is a Bitwarden-compatible server written in Rust. Prior to 1.35.5, refresh tokens are not invalidated when the user's security_stamp is rotated by some security-sensitive operations (password change, KDF change, key rotation, email change, org admin password reset, emergency access takeover). This allows an attacker holding a previously obtained refresh token to maintain session access even after the user has taken action to secure their account. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.35.5.

"value": "Vaultwarden es un servidor compatible con Bitwarden escrito en Rust. Antes de la versión 1.35.5, los tokens de actualización no se invalidan cuando el security_stamp del usuario se rota por algunas operaciones sensibles a la seguridad (cambio de contraseña, cambio de KDF, rotación de claves, cambio de correo electrónico, restablecimiento de contraseña de administrador de la organización, toma de control de acceso de emergencia). Esto permite a un atacante que posee un token de actualización obtenido previamente mantener el acceso a la sesión incluso después de que el usuario haya tomado medidas para proteger su cuenta. Esta vulnerabilidad se corrige en la versión 1.35.5."
