Summary
Vaultwarden's Collection Management Operations Allowed Without `manage` Verification for Manager Role
Details

Summary

Testing confirmed that even when a Manager has manage=false for a given collection, they can still perform the following management operations as long as they have access to the collection:

  • PUT /api/organizations/<org_id>/collections/<col_id> succeeds (HTTP 200)
  • PUT /api/organizations/<org_id>/collections/<col_id>/users succeeds (HTTP 200)
  • DELETE /api/organizations/<org_id>/collections/<col_id> succeeds (HTTP 200)

Description

  • The Manager guard checks only whether the user can access the collection, not whether they have manage privileges. This check is directly applied to management endpoints. src/auth.rs:816 ```rust

if !Collection::can_access_collection(&headers.membership, &col_id, &conn).await { err_handler!("The current user isn't a manager for this collection") } ```

  • The can_access_collection function does not evaluate the manage flag. src/db/models/collection.rs:140

```rust

pub async fn can_access_collection(member: &Membership, col_id: &CollectionId, conn: &DbConn) -> bool { member.has_status(MembershipStatus::Confirmed) && (member.has_full_access() || CollectionUser::has_access_to_collection_by_user(col_id, &member.user_uuid, conn).await || ... ```

  • A separate management-permission check exists and includes manage validation, but it is not used during authorization for the affected endpoints. src/db/models/collection.rs:516

```rust

pub async fn is_manageable_by_user(&self, user_uuid: &UserId, conn: &DbConn) -> bool { let Some(member) = Membership::find_confirmed_by_user_and_org(user_uuid, &self.org_uuid, conn).await else { return false; }; if member.has_full_access() { return true; } ... ```

  • The actual update and deletion endpoints only accept ManagerHeaders and do not perform additional manage checks. src/api/core/organizations.rs:608
  async fn put_organization_collection_update(..., headers: ManagerHeaders, ...)

src/api/core/organizations.rs:890

  async fn put_collection_users(..., headers: ManagerHeaders, ...)

src/api/core/organizations.rs:747

rust async fn delete_organization_collection(..., headers: ManagerHeaders, ...)

Preconditions

  • The attacker is a Manager within the target organization.
  • The attacker has access to the target collection (assigned=true).
  • The attacker’s permission for that collection is manage=false.
  • A valid API access token has been obtained.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Confirm that the attacker’s current permissions for the target collection include manage=false. image

  2. As a control test, verify that update operations fail for collections the attacker cannot access. image

  3. Confirm that update operations succeed for the target collection where manage=false. image

  4. Use PUT /collections/{col_id}/users to set manage=true, confirming that the attacker can escalate their own privileges. image

  5. Verify that deletion of the collection succeeds despite the Manager lacking management rights. image

Required Minimum Privileges

  • Organization Manager role (Owner/Admin privileges are not required)
  • Works even with access_all=false
  • Only access rights to the target collection are required (manage privilege is not required)

Attack Scenario

A restricted Manager (intended for read/use-only access) directly invokes the API to update collection settings, elevate their own privileges to manage=true, and even delete the collection.

This allows the user to bypass operational access restrictions and effectively gain administrator-equivalent control over the collection.

Potential Impact

  • Confidentiality: Expansion of access scope through unauthorized privilege escalation and configuration changes.
  • Integrity: Unauthorized modification of collection settings and assignments; potential disabling of access controls.
  • Availability: Deletion of collections may disrupt business operations.

Mitigation MIT-1
Architecture and Design Operation

Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.

Mitigation MIT-48
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.

Mitigation MIT-49
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

Consider following the principle of separation of privilege. Require multiple conditions to be met before permitting access to a system resource.

CAPEC-122: Privilege Abuse

An adversary is able to exploit features of the target that should be reserved for privileged users or administrators but are exposed to use by lower or non-privileged accounts. Access to sensitive information and functionality must be controlled to ensure that only authorized users are able to access these resources.

CAPEC-233: Privilege Escalation

An adversary exploits a weakness enabling them to elevate their privilege and perform an action that they are not supposed to be authorized to perform.

CAPEC-58: Restful Privilege Elevation

An adversary identifies a Rest HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permission method allowing them to perform various malicious actions upon server data due to lack of access control mechanisms implemented within the application service accepting HTTP messages.
