Summary

CVE-2026-101878 is a high-severity Incorrect Implementation of Authentication Algorithm (CWE-303) vulnerability in Com (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 7.7 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique External Remote Services (T1133); ranked at the 16th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SA-15 (Development Process, Standards, and Tools) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Bitwarden Server 2025.6.0 before 2026.5.0 declares the @ExternalId parameter of the User_ReadBySsoUserOrganizationIdExternalId stored procedure as NVARCHAR(50) while the column it queries stores NVARCHAR(300), silently truncating the SSO login identifier on SQL Server deployments and allowing a user whose identity-provider identifier…

begins with another organization member's full 50-character identifier to authenticate as that member and obtain a victim-scoped access token.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation at post-design stages directly uncovers incorrect implementations of required authentication algorithms.

Requiring documented development processes, standards, and tools reduces the chance that an established authentication algorithm is coded incorrectly.

PR.PS-06 partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require correct implementation of authentication algorithms.

degrades

Cryptography control addresses proper use of authentication algorithms but is broader than authentication alone.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle includes verification steps that can catch incorrect authentication implementations.

prevents

Application security requirements can specify correct authentication algorithm use but do not guarantee correct implementation.

prevents

Secure coding practices reduce the likelihood of incorrect authentication algorithm implementation.

finds

Security testing can detect flawed authentication implementations but does not prevent them by itself.
