Lastpass Leaks Passwords


Password vault provider Lastpass has moved quickly to close a remote code execution vulnerability found in its Chrome extension but has failed to do likewise with regards to its counterpart for Firefox.

A Google Project Zero researcher, Tavis Ormandy, insists that issues persist with the Firefox extension:

Lastpass is a cloud storage password vault that provides browser extensions to connect the vault with the user’s Lastpass account. This allows the user to access and automatically fill in save login details when attempting enter favoured websites.

This is not the first time that Lastpass has been discovered to be insecure, nor will it be the last. Readers are advised to use Keepass. An offline, open-sourced password solution.
