LastPass hit by password stealing and code execution vulnerabilities | #CyberSecurity #Awareness #ICT | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
LastPass has closed a remote code execution vulnerability on its Chrome extension, but according to Google Project Zero researcher Tavis Ormandy, issues remain on its Firefox extension, as well as details on another password-stealing vulnerability to come.

Writing in the Project Zero issue tracker, Ormandy said it was possible to proxy untrusted messages to LastPass.

"This allows complete access to internal privileged LastPass RPC commands," the researcher said. "There are hundreds of internal LastPass RPCs, but the obviously bad ones are things copying and filling in passwords (copypass, fillform, etc)."
