There are hundreds of internal LastPass RPCs, but the obviously bad ones are things copying and filling in passwords (copypass, fillform, etc)," Ormandy added in his report. "This allows complete access to internal privileged LastPass RPC commands. The vulnerability made it dangerous for users to even browse a malicious website as all your passwords could have been picked up by attackers. Since LastPass works by storing passwords in the cloud, the browser extension is your link to the LastPass account, helping you save new information as you browse the Internet. This is clearly a mistake," Ormandy writes. "This script will proxy unauthenticated window messages to the extension. It could also be pushed to execute commands on the victim's computer, which the Google hacker demonstrated easily. According to Ormandy, the extension had an exploitable content script that could be attacked to extract passwords from the manager.
The white hat found the issue within the LastPass Chrome extension. At least that's the opinion of Google's Tavis Ormandy, security expert who has detected numerous problems over the years, including the recent Cloudflare incident. This wasn't even some very complicated problem, but rather a coding error. Thankfully, the company has already patched things up. You can also set up the program so that each website identifies you automatically.LastPass, the password vault that you were supposed to trust with your information, was affected by a critical security flaw. You can import all the passwords you have saved in Safari so you won't have to re-do them when you start using the program. LastPass also lets you create secure passwords that you won't have to remember, as the program automatically enters them once you grant permission. This means your passwords can't be seen from anywhere else unless they're unlocked with a master password. LastPass uses your Mac to encrypt your passwords before saving them to its own server. It provides more security than the default password manager and allows you to save each of your passwords to its corresponding website. These are some of the reasons that ever more Firefox users are opting to install the LastPass extension on their browser. Are you one of those people who forgets all their passwords? Do you feel like your information isn't secure enough when saved on Safari?
