Description John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2023-06-08 04:39:56 UTC
CVE-2023-32784:

In KeePass 2.x before 2.54, it is possible to recover the cleartext master password from a memory dump, even when a workspace is locked or no longer running. The memory dump can be a KeePass process dump, swap file (pagefile.sys), hibernation file (hiberfil.sys), or RAM dump of the entire system. The first character cannot be recovered. In 2.54, there is different API usage and/or random string insertion for mitigation.

Apparently will be fixed in 2.54.
