Notes

Title of the patch: Security update for keepass

Description of the patch: This update for keepass fixes the following issues: - Update to 2.54 * Security: + Improved process memory protection of secure edit controls (CVE-2023-32784, boo#1211397). * New Features: + Triggers, global URL overrides, password generator profiles and a few more settings are now stored in the enforced configuration file. + Added dialog 'Enforce Options (All Users)' (menu 'Tools' → 'Advanced Tools' → 'Enforce Options'), which facilitates storing certain options in the enforced configuration file. + In report dialogs, passwords (and other sensitive data) are now hidden using asterisks by default (if hiding is activated in the main window); the hiding can be toggled using the new '***' button in the toolbar. + The 'Print' command in most report dialogs now requires the 'Print' application policy flag, and the master key must be entered if the 'Print - No Key Repeat' application policy flag is deactivated. + The 'Export' command in most report dialogs now requires the 'Export' application policy flag, and the master key must be entered. + Single line edit dialogs now support hiding the value using asterisks. + Commands that require elevation now have a shield icon like on Windows. + TrlUtil: added 'Move Selected Unused Text to Dialog Control' command. * Improvements: * The content mode of the configuration elements '/Configuration/Application/TriggerSystem', '/Configuration/Integration/UrlSchemeOverrides' and '/Configuration/PasswordGenerator/UserProfiles' is now 'Replace' by default. * The built-in override for the 'ssh' URI scheme is now deactivated by default (it can be activated in the 'URL Overrides' dialog). * When opening the password generator dialog without a derived profile, the '(Automatically generated passwords for new entries)' profile is now selected by default, if profiles are enabled (otherwise the default profile is used). * The clipboard workarounds are now disabled by default (they are not needed anymore on most systems). * Improved clipboard clearing. * Improved starting of an elevated process. * Bugfixes: + In report dialogs, the 'Print' and 'Export' commands now always use the actual data (in previous versions, asterisks were printed/exported when the application policy flag 'Unhide Passwords' was turned off).

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
