Ho appena letto che #MicrosoftEdge carica persistentemente le #password salvate in memoria in chiaro.

Indovinate la risposta di #Microsoft?

Scelta “by design” per aumentare le prestazioni…

No, non è lercio.

ICYMI: A security researcher recently published a working tool that extracts credentials stored in Microsoft Edge directly from the browser's parent process memory. No exploit is needed – just sufficient system privileges.

This is the kind of threat Keeper Security is designed to help address. In addition to our secure and encrypted password manager, Keeper Forcefield blocks unauthorized memory access at the kernel level – so even if a machine is compromised, there's nothing to extract.

Edge: password in chiaro nella memoria RAM. Per Microsoft è “by design”
#Microsoft #MicrosoftEdge #sicurezza #Password
Le password salvate in Microsoft Edge finiscono in chiaro nella memoria RAM. Microsoft conferma: è un comportamento “by design”. Ecco cosa significa e i rischi.

Microsoft Edge: Credential Handling and Memory Exposure

Microsoft Edge loads all stored passwords into memory as plain text when the browser starts. This affects all users and could expose sensitive data.

Microsoft Edge now loads all saved passwords into computer memory as plain text as soon as the browser starts. This is a big change from before and could put your passwords at risk.

Your browser might be exposing your passwords in memory.

New research shows Microsoft Edge loads all saved passwords into RAM in plaintext, even when you’re not using them, making them easier to extract by malware or attackers with local access.

Microsoft says this behavior is “by design.”

Convenience vs security… again.
