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.
@sxan @admin There’s now an audit of KeePassXC. Worth reading. It’s sound.

I read that! Props on the auditor for doing it gratis; it’s rare to see people pay back the benefit they get from OSS.
@sxan @admin @rysiek You can also self-host Vaultwarden. Nice and easy to do via Elast.io: https://elest.io/open-source/vaultwarden
That looks like a very good option.
@charlesroper @sxan @admin @rysiek What’s the difference between vaultwarden and bitwarden?
See: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden
@admin FAntastic, thanks. I’m self-hosting Bitwarden now, but I’m always interested in streamlining things.
@WillowMist @charlesroper @sxan @admin @rysiek from their github page: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden
Alternative implementation of the Bitwarden server API written in Rust and compatible with upstream Bitwarden clients*, perfect for self-hosted deployment where running the official resource-heavy service might not be ideal.
@smorks @WillowMist @sxan @admin @rysiek Right. It’s an alternative to the official Bitwarden open source server (https://github.com/bitwarden/server), which is all .net and sql server and is quite heavy host yourself (apparently). That means most people end up using Bitwarden’s own official hosted service. Vaultwarden is a popular and active alternative to Bitwarden Server. It is written in Rust so is a lot lighter on resource requirements. You can easily spin up an instance on Elestio or Cloudron.
@smorks @WillowMist @sxan @admin @rysiek Once you have your own Vaultwarden running, you can use any of the many Bitwarden clients with it:

@smorks @WillowMist @sxan @admin @rysiek Just seen @cloudron are here on the fedi - they also offer a really easy way to host Vaultwarden for yourself, along with loads of other good quality open source products. Worth a look.
