CVE-2026-27898: Vaultwarden has Unauthorized Access via Partial Update API on Another User’s Cipher

March 4, 2026

In the test environment, it was confirmed that 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.).
