Bitwarden Server < 2026.5.0 Privilege Escalation via Bulk User Remove Endpoint

Published Jun 25, 2026 · Updated Nov 8, 2026 · Assigned by VulnCheck

Description

Bitwarden Server before 2026.5.0 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability that allows authenticated Custom users with ManageUsers permission to remove Admin accounts from an organization by exploiting a missing role hierarchy check in the bulk user-remove endpoint. Attackers can supply Admin organization-user IDs in a bulk DELETE request to bypass the guard enforced on the single-user removal path, effectively removing one or more Admin accounts from an organization.
