CVE-2024-33901 (GCVE-0-2024-33901)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-05-20 20:21 – Updated: 2025-02-13 15:53 Disputed
VLAI
Summary
Issue in KeePassXC 2.7.7 allows an attacker (who has the privileges of the victim) to recover some passwords stored in the .kdbx database via a memory dump. NOTE: the vendor disputes this because memory-management constraints make this unavoidable in the current design and other realistic designs.
