The vulnerability allows hackers to bypass security mechanisms and expose credentials to the host app. Password managers such as 1Password, LastPass, Enpass, Keeper, and Keepass2Android are vulnerable to the exploit, along with DashLane and Google Smart Lock when a JavaScript injection method is enabled. While there is no evidence of exploitation in the wild, the researchers warn that the implications of AutoSpill are highly dangerous.
