CVE-2026-4158 (GCVE-0-2026-4158)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-04-11 00:17 – Updated: 2026-04-13 17:40
VLAI
Title
KeePassXC OpenSSL Configuration Uncontrolled Search Path Element Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
Summary
KeePassXC OpenSSL Configuration Uncontrolled Search Path Element Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of KeePassXC. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the configuration of OpenSSL. The product loads configuration from an unsecured location. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of KeePassXC when run by a target user on the system. Was ZDI-CAN-29156.

CVE-2023-35866 (GCVE-0-2023-35866)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-06-19 00:00 – Updated: 2024-12-11 16:53 Disputed
VLAI
Summary
In KeePassXC through 2.7.5, a local attacker can make changes to the Database security settings, including master password and second-factor authentication, within an authenticated KeePassXC Database session, without the need to authenticate these changes by entering the password and/or second-factor authentication to confirm changes. NOTE: the vendor's position is "asking the user for their password prior to making any changes to the database settings adds no additional protection against a local attacker."
Severity
No CVSS data available.
