TL;DR Summary

A major vulnerability has been discovered in the KeePass password manager that allows hackers to extract a user's master password in plain text from the target computer's memory, even if the app is locked or closed. The exploit requires physical access to the machine, but malware could be used to dump KeePass's memory and send it to the hacker's server. KeePass's developer is working on a fix, but it won't be released until June or July 2023. In the meantime, users should avoid downloading apps or opening files from unknown senders, use an antivirus app, and never share their password manager's master password with anyone.
