Critical Vulnerabilities Found in Passwordstate

Researchers discovered that the Passwordstate enterprise password manager made by Australian company Click Studios is affected by serious vulnerabilities that could allow an unauthenticated attacker to obtain a user’s passwords.

The security holes, patched in early November with the release of version 9.6 build 9653, were reported to the developer in August by Swiss cybersecurity firm Modzero.

Modzero researchers discovered a total of seven types of vulnerabilities in Passwordstate, including issues related to authentication and authorization bypass, improper password protection, hardcoded credentials, and a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw.

An API authentication bypass tracked as CVE-2022-3875 has been assigned a ‘critical’ severity rating. It can allow an unauthenticated attacker to bypass authentication for the Passwordstate API, enabling them to gain access to a user’s website passwords, one-time passwords (OTPs), password lists, and other secrets by knowing only their username.

The remaining security holes have been rated ‘medium’ or ‘low’, but they can still pose a significant risk when chained with other vulnerabilities.
