The vulnerability affects the KeePass 2.X branch for Windows, and possibly for Linux and macOS. It has been fixed in the test versions of KeePass v2.54 – the official release is expected by July 2023. It’s unfortunate that the PoC tool is already publicly available and the release of the new version so far off, but the risk of CVE-2023-32784 being abused in the wild is likely to be pretty low, according to the researcher.

    As a Bitwarden user of many years, fully and enthusiastically DISAGREE. This is a security issue on a local-only software that requires a full compromise of the computer it’s running on, it operates ON A FREAKING MEMORY DUMP, by that time you have bigger problems. There will be more such issues, including on Bitwarden, and they’ll get fixed. These kinds of bugs are a piss-poor reason to switch software, and much less to start trusting a third party when you didn’t before, doubly so when other variants of this same software don’t have these issues. Yeah, Bitwarden is great and i’ll continue recommending it, but doing so after this kind of security issues is terrible advice.
