CVE-2026-43640 Details
Description
Bitwarden Server prior to v2026.4.1 does not require master-password re-authentication when retrieving or rotating an organization's SCIM API key, allowing an authenticated user with SCIM management privileges to obtain the key using only a valid session.
A vulnerability exists in Bitwarden Server versions prior to 2026.4.1, where the application does not require re-authentication of the master password when retrieving or rotating an organization's SCIM API key. This flaw allows an authenticated user with SCIM management privileges to access the key using only a valid session. The issue arises because the SCIM key type bypasses the necessary password verification, creating a security risk by enabling unauthorized access to sensitive API functionalities.
Users can update to Bitwarden Server version 2026.4.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
