This is an old, well-known technique that I have used several times during pentest ensure discreet persistence on the targetđȘ but also to steal the passwords. The second case has been known since 2015, at least (for those on the mailing list, I refer you to the 2015 emails âKeeFarce: software that extracts data from Keepassâ and â KeeThief, to steal the content of a KeePassâ). If I compromise the user computer and I have write permissions on the KeePass configuration file, I can ask him to trigger an action, such as a command execution, following an event such as when it is opened, when a password database is opened, when it is closed⊠(which can be done manually or with tools like the recent KeePwn).If I compromise the user computer and have enough privileges to access the Keepass database, then I will have ALL of its secrets (which I retrieve in memory with tools like KeeFarce or KeeThief or SharpClipHistory most recent, or on disk waiting for the user to enter their password and capturing it with a keyloggerâŠ).

Keepass is great for keeping your secrets safe but for an attacker it can be interesting for two main reasons đ: Ultra mega giga critical vulnerability CVE-2023-24055 The weaknesses of KeePass
To say it another way, it protects your passwords, it protects your buttocks, it âkeeps your assâ⊠thatâs for those who didnât understand the name of this tool đ. Itâs handy for having complex and random passwords for each of your sites, tools, access⊠đ. Iâll make it short: itâs a tool that allows you to store your passwords locally, securely and requiring you to enter a âmasterâ password to unlock them. KeepPass is a wonderful tool wich is a password vault.

In order to end in joy and good humor, you will have the new features of KeePass 2.53 at the end đ. At first I intended to limit myself to a simple tweet ( ) and an email on a private mailing list (those who know, know đ) but given the extent of the subject ⊠here is a blog post đ.
