1Password, Bitwarden, Enpass, iCloud Passwords, LastPass, and LogMeOnce
Any insight in attacks on the browser password managers themselves?
This is somewhat clever, but if you’re phished into attempting to login on a malicious page, you’ve already lost
Per the article, the attack works by making you think you’re clicking CAPTCHAs and reduces the opacity of the auto login buttons you’re actually pressing.
Yes, I read the article.
Then I guess your comment confused me because the attack doesn’t require the user to attempt to log in. Completing a CAPTCHA on a random page isn’t internet idiot behavior, it’s what we’ve been trained to expect is the norm.
I think I meant to reply to the user who was talking about KeePass. If you have brought the user to a malicious page, you can already just impersonate the login form and something like KeePass that doesn’t offer to autofill passwords will be none the wiser (because the user initiates the paste / autotype)
In the XSS case, I think this would be occurring on a page the user trusts but has been compromised by an external script (via an ad or other means). If it’s at a domain the user has saved credentials for, odds are high it’s a login page, but I think you’re right that an attacker could probably add their own input field to provoke the password manager overlay, with an innocuous-looking fake captcha or cookie banner over it.
Once again I am reminded why I always use an adblocker.
I’m an idiot using bw, do we have much confidence in any means of avoiding this yet or no?
The easy-ish way is to use the desktop app, but from the article:
However, Bitwarden told BleepingComputer that the issues have been fixed in version 2025.8.0, rolling out this week.
I have pretty unserious threat model, so hopefully bw team is trustworthy enough to believe in their upcoming fix.
Many thanks Leo!
Wouldn’t the attack need to happen on a subdomain of the site they’re trying to steal credentials for? At least Bitwarden won’t suggest any credentials to autofill otherwise (haven’t tried the others)
So if I just use the desktop app and not the browser extension then I’m good?
