Today, we are releasing KeePassXC 2.7.6 with a few bug fixes and enhancements. This version fixes a crash on macOS that occurred on exit. We also improved the visual display when dragging entries to move/copy, Quick Unlock is now automatically activated when unlocking for Auto-Type or Browser access, and the Auto-Type button and shortcut key will be disabled when Auto-Type is turned off for the entry or group.
On June 19, 2023 an alleged KeePassXC vulnerability with the identifier CVE-2023–35866 was posted against KeePassXC versions up to 2.7.5. As the developers of KeePassXC, we do not consider the issue a vulnerability and have filed a request for the CVE to be rejected. Additional information can be found in the discussion on GitHub.
The root of the argument submitted by the CVE author is that an attacker with unfettered access to an already unlocked database could export or change the password without requiring the original credentials. Where this is true, there are numerous barriers to actually executing this attack sequence. In addition, having lost control of your computer in this manner would mean the attacker could execute any number of security compromises against your KeePassXC database, regardless of requiring credentials prior to export or credential change.
At this time, we are not planning any drastic changes to the program to address this submission. We are also monitoring the request to reject/dispute this CVE on the grounds it is not actually a vulnerability in our software. Information on mitigation and other factors is included after the break.
Today, we are releasing KeePassXC 2.7.5 with a bunch of bug fixes and performance improvements. This version fixes three separate crashes that were found with the support of our active community members. Additionally, we fixed several areas in the code that were causing significant slow downs when databases had more than a thousand entries.
This release brings several popular feature requests including a menu option to temporarily allow screen capture (Windows & macOS), an improved layout to the HTML export, improved KeePassXC logos and icons, and increasing the max TOTP step to 24 hours.
An audit of KeePassXC has been on the wish list since we started this project over six years ago. Today we are happy to announce the release of an audit conducted by Zaur Molotnikov, an independent security consultant, that was completed on January 19, 2023 against KeePassXC 2.7.4. This audit was conducted free of charge to the KeePassXC Team and the findings and writeup were reviewed for correctness.
Today, we are releasing KeePassXC 2.7.4, the fourth maintenance update for the 2.7 stable series.
The release fixes several issues that appeared in the previous release concerning the browser integration and the entry preview panel, as well as a compatibility problem with macOS 13 Ventura. In addition, we also improved Unicode support on Windows and added a two-month password expiration preset.
Today, we are releasing KeePassXC 2.7.3, the third maintenance update for the 2.7 stable series.
This release introduces saved searches, enhanced tags support, improvements to the entry preview panel,
a db-edit command to the CLI, and corrects numerous bugs and crashes. We have also made several quality
of life improvements to the program such as tabbing around the interface and preventing focus locks. This
update also provides better handling of dark/light mode detection on macOS and Linux.
Today, we are releasing KeePassXC 2.7.1, the first maintenance update for the 2.7 stable series.
The release fixes multiple issues with Auto-Type, performance problems with the legacy AES-KDF, and several other minor bugs. We also improved the entry preview panel layout and paved the way for first-class Flatpak support on Linux. Flatpak, thus far, has been a downstream third-party distribution, but with the new release, we upstreamed patches needed for building KeePassXC as a Flatpak, and it will eventually supersede Snap as our preferred Linux distribution channel. Our experience shows that Flatpak has been a more stable platform than Snap, which has had many deployment bugs over the years, so we decided to deprecate it in favour of Flatpak. If you are experiencing problems with the current Snap, we recommend you switch to one of our other two supported Linux packages or to Flatpak once we announce an official Flathub channel.
Today, we are releasing KeePassXC 2.7.0. Closing 118 issues and merging in 149 pull requests, this release is one of our biggest and most important yet! We have incorporated several significant improvements including:
Today we are releasing the sixth 2.6 maintenance updates, KeePassXC 2.6.6. This release quickly corrects a couple of bugs found in 2.6.5.
Note: we do not recommend using this release as it contains a couple of bugs
Today we are releasing the fifth 2.6 maintenance update, KeePassXC 2.6.5.
This version brings numerous backports from the develop branch to bring some of our exciting new features into a stable release. Notable changes include showing the search bar even when hidden, showing a countdown when the clipboard contains data, retaining creation date when saving the database, and fixing numerous bugs. See more in the changelog after the break.
