Good news for everyone who is using the password manager KeePass. A new update is now available that fixes two minor security issues in the client. These have come to light during a code analysis that was sponsored and run by the German Federal Office for Information Security and MGM Security Partners.
The new is good, because no medium, high, or critical issues were discovered during the audit. Note that the audit focused on the actual KeePass application and not third-party forks or plugins.
Also good to know:
The full report will be published on this (German) website later on. Previous reports have been in German, and it is likely that the KeePass report will also be available in German only.
KeePass users may want to upgrade the password manager to the new version as soon as possible. The two discovered security issues have a low severity rating.
The official release notes go through the findings and provide notes on the discovered issues. It is unfortunately difficult to understand at this point as the report is not quoted.
Closing Words
The results of the code audit should instill confidence in the password manager. I’m keeping an eye on the download page of the report to read it once it is published.
