I like how Keepass2Android installs a custom password keyboard on your phone for the pre-autofill days. It even helps for apps that don't make use of the autofill API yet.

Dashlane posted:

“We respectfully disagree with the researcher’s claim that this can be truly fixed by Dashlane, or anyone for that matter. Once the operating system or device is compromised, an attacker will end up having access to anything on the device and there is no way to effectively prevent it. There are solutions that amount to ‘putting the information under the rug’ but any attacker sufficiently sophisticated enough to remotely take control of the user’s device would go around these solutions very easily.”

Lastpass posted:

the vulnerability highlighted by ISE was present in a “legacy” Windows Application that accounted for less than 0.2 percent of LastPass usage.
...
“To mitigate risk of compromise while LastPass for Applications is in a locked state, LastPass for Applications will now shut down the application when the user logs out, clearing the memory and not leaving anything behind,” Palfy said.

1Password posted:

“Fixing this particular problem introduces new, greater security risks, and so we have chosen to stick with the security afforded by high-level memory management, even if it means that we cannot clear memory instantly.

Long term, we may not need to make such a tradeoff. But given the tools and technologies at our disposal, we have had to make a decision as to how best to keep our users secure. I stand by our decision.

The realistic threat from this issue is limited. An attacker who is in a position to exploit this information in memory is already in a very powerful position. No password manager (or anything else) can promise to run securely on a compromised computer.”

KeePass posted:

KeePass told security publication ZDNet that what ISE found was a “well-known and documented” limitation of “process memory protection.” In fact, that’s verbatim what the company said last September when ISE brought up the issue in KeePass’ bug reporting forum.

The other odd part of that article was pointing out that 1Password 6 on Windows added support for secure enclaves, but then they quietly removed it because "SGX requires an Intel CryptoProvider be included in 1Password, but that provider does not update itself and could lead to an outdated version being used."

We haven't had that spirit here since 1969.

It's good that browsers are blocking read access to the copy/paste buffer. But they still have write access, which leaves pastejacking still viable after all these years.

I am Most Important Man. Most Important Man in the World.
I got another reminder how scary clipboard can be when I was copying some YouTube links on my home computer, and noticed that my Ditto clipboard manager also had bunch of strings I had copied earlier today at work.

I copy a string inside my Ubuntu virtual machine running under VirtualBox. From there the string is first transferred to my host computer running bare bones Lubuntu, then to another virtual machine running Windows and sitting in the lock screen. And as it happens, on yesterday evening I had taken RDP connection to that same virtual Windows from home. The screen lock had been activated ages ago, but the RDP connection was still alive so anything I copied anywhere in my system would merrily travel upstream all the way.

Some of my coworkers can have half a dozen RDP connections to different machines, with nested RDPs going god knows where. You would need a flowchart to figure out where any innocent clipboard copies would end up.

He tweets a lot more than I would really like (so that the signal/noise ratio is reasonable) but he's a good follow. He knows his poo poo but also won't stop reading hackernews, so

Do you really think that Facebook, a company who has no issues targeting kids to brainwash them into addiction, and who was recently found tricking people into installing basically backdoors onto their phones to collect every single bit of data that the phone sent out, would just willingly choose to not collect that extra clipboard data? Why even give them the benefit of the doubt?

I’m asking because a) I know it wasn’t transmitted when that was first added, and b) because I want to yell at people there if it is now. (Similarly with Chrome, whose parent also had a network-interposing research app using enterprise certificates app until FB got in trouble. I have better people to yell at for FB though.)

E: also it didn’t upload all your photos just because it had camera access and at one point had a post helper that showed it, and if that changed I’d love to find out too!

But I ask again, why are you giving them the benefit of the doubt? They are pure scum and are collecting that data, period. You know people at FB? Then yell at them and ask them to prove otherwise. They had the benefit of the doubt but time and time again they’ve shown that they don’t give a poo poo about anything other than how much more money they could earn without any qualms about how to get that. I guarantee you that they’d sell tech to north loving korea if they could do it for the right amount of money. This is the same company that hired a firm to discredit critics and the like by targeting people like Soros with anti Semitic attacks and inventing fake news.

They get absolutely NO lee way. Every bad thing you can imagine they can do, they are doing it unless they can prove otherwise.

I am at no point saying anything about FB’s current behaviour with respect to the URLs. I’m asking things to find out if it changed, because I am 100% certain that it did not when it was first added. You can ask questions to learn something, not just score points.

Oh look, they developed an app that if leaked would have been “near-fatal” for them in their own words. It’s apparently so bad that they don’t want anybody talking about it period. Something about violating privacy.

But yeah, let’s just give them the benefit of the doubt. Surely they’ve learned their lesson.

Subjunctive

You should read the text more clearly. Someone else built an app on the platform, and may not have disclosed what they were accessing clearly once the user installed it. Leaking of earnings would have been fatal — the 3rd party app was already public, which is how they found out about it. They already had a design to remedy it and were alarmed when they found out what the app was causing. This is actually them acting correctly when they found out something bad was happening on their platform, like Apple putting contact access behind user confirmation way back when, or pulling the research apps more recently.

(This is all pretty clear from the Twitter thread, if it’s the same one I remember.)

FB has fallen far enough that you don’t need to stretch.

I could replace a few nouns in that thread and have several that I was on about Firefox extensions when that was my problem, it occurs to me. I wonder if there are any platforms of note that haven’t had something like that. gmail just put a bunch of new controls in place because of that, too.

I think it points to insufficiently adversarial design validation as a system issue, but I don’t have a magic trick for resolving that. It’s definitely something I push my teams on now, but it still relies on sufficient creativity with limited people in the allotted time to match an attacker set (or well-meaning but hazardous user, even) who is not similarly constrained — and you can undo all that hard work with a change later on, if you haven’t captured it all in test plans.

Maybe raising goats on a mountain top would feel better.

You can't just stick with MSE for Windows? Doesn't solve your Mac problem but it's about as lightweight as you can get.


I've never seen an antivirus on OSX that didn't cause way more problems than it fixed. Avoid Semantec and McAfee because they're terrible. Cylance is probably fine if you're using their on prem offering, but their cloud av service kinda sucks for management features. Easily the best of the three though.

Yeah, I’m pushing for MSE on Windows, but someone at the customer thinks it doesn’t count. I’m trying to find that person.

The leading contender now is Bitdefender, I think? I’ll have someone look into Cylance, good call.

I think Facebook has enough documented bullshit by this point to be condemned pretty soundly on several fronts. (Boris seems to not want to raise any of those, though, which is an odd strategy.) I wanted (want) to know if clipboard upload has changed to be one of those cases, and I know apseudonym can cut through folklore to evidence (if I’m interpreting his post correctly in the first place), that’s all. I still periodically have chastising conversations with FB C-suite and VPs about their bullshit. I know they are hosed up. I just want to know if they hosed this specific thing up, because I have a direct historical relationship to it.
