Passbolt · Passbolt Browser Extension · CVE-2024-33669
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Passbolt Browser Extension versions prior to 4.6.2
**Description**
An issue in the Passbolt Browser Extension results in an information leak. As a user types a password, multiple requests are sent to HaveIBeenPwned, allowing an attacker who can observe these HTTPS queries to the Pwned Password API to more easily brute force manually typed passwords.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 4.6.2, update to version 4.6.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the password checking feature that sends requests to HaveIBeenPwned until a patch is applied. Restrict access to sensitive information and use additional security measures to protect against brute force attacks.
