Vaultwarden is an unofficial Bitwarden compatible server written in Rust, formerly known as bitwarden_rs. Vaultwarden versions 1.34.3 and prior are susceptible to a 2FA bypass when performing protected actions. An attacker who gains authenticated access to a user’s account can exploit this bypass to perform protected actions such as accessing the user’s API key or deleting the user’s vault and organisations the user is an admin/owner of . This issue has been patched in version 1.35.0.
Weakness
The product does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame.
Affected Software
| Name | Vendor | Start Version | End Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vaultwarden | Dani-garcia | * | 1.35.0 (excluding) |
Potential Mitigations
Common protection mechanisms include:
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid [REF-1482].
Consider using libraries with authentication capabilities such as OpenSSL or the ESAPI Authenticator. [REF-45]
