CounterPane PasswordSafe 1.x and 2.x allows local users to test possible encryption keys against a subset of the stored key data without performing the more expensive key derivation function (KDF) function, which reduces the search time in brute force attacks.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw weakens protection for old CounterPane PasswordSafe 1.x and 2.x vaults. A local attacker can test guessed encryption keys faster than intended, making password-guessing attacks against a vault more practical if they can access the stored data. Exposure is most likely where legacy CounterPane PasswordSafe 1.x or 2.x vaults remain in use, archived, backed up, or accessible to local users. Current exposure cannot be confirmed from the provided metadata alone. Treat this as a legacy password-vault risk. It is not cited as actively exploited, but any exposed vault could contain broad credentials, so prioritize discovery and migration over emergency response. Mitigation focus: Inventory any CounterPane PasswordSafe 1.x or 2.x installations and vault files.; Check vendor or trusted advisory guidance for fixed versions or migration paths.; Migrate legacy vaults to a maintained password manager if no supported fix exists..
