IT Pro UK cites Flashpoint’s Bitwarden password autofill research.
“While the embedded iframe does not have access to any content in the parent page, it can wait for input to the login form and forward the entered credentials to a remote server without further user interaction.”
Flashpoint researchers told IT Pro UK that it identified a Bitwarden iframe autofill flaw enabling credential theft.
What security flaw did Flashpoint identify in Bitwarden?
Flashpoint found that Bitwarden’s browser extension can autofill credentials into embedded iframes from different domains, enabling credential theft without site compromise.
Why does the iframe flaw matter for real-world attacks?
The flaw allows attackers to steal credentials by controlling iframe content alone, even on otherwise legitimate websites, particularly when autofill settings are enabled.
How does Flashpoint surface and validate vulnerability intelligence?
Flashpoint analysts uncover credential exposure risks through hands-on vulnerability research and real-world exploitation scenarios. Learn more in Flashpoint’s analysis of the Bitwarden autofill flaw.
