Key Takeaways

Vaultwarden 1.35.4 released on March 3, 2026

The Vaultwarden team released version 1.35.4 of its self-hosted password manager on Tuesday to fix three security vulnerabilities. This security update comes five days after the discovery of vulnerabilities in the open source alternative to Bitwarden.

Developers recommend immediate installation for all users hosting their own Vaultwarden instance. No technical details about the vulnerabilities have been disclosed to prevent exploitation.

Vaultwarden users affected by the update

All administrators of self-hosted Vaultwarden instances must update to version 1.35.4. Users of the official Bitwarden cloud service are not affected by these specific vulnerabilities.

The update is available through the usual distribution channels: Docker Hub, GitHub Releases, and Linux package managers. The standard update process applies with no data migration necessary.

Three vulnerabilities fixed in Vaultwarden

Version 1.35.4 addresses three distinct security vulnerabilities identified in the Vaultwarden code. Developers have not published CVEs or technical details to limit the risk of exploitation before instances are updated.

This responsible disclosure approach follows standard practices for password managers, where user data security takes precedence over immediate technical transparency.
