tKeePass 2.57.1 Release Notes$$$Information related to KeePass version 2.57.1.$$$$$$Many thanks to the German Federal Office for Information Security (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik; BSI) and mgm security partners for sponsoring and performing a code analysis of KeePass 2.x (the BSI will publish information about it soon here: project CAOS 3.0 German).$$$$$$No security vulnerabilities classified as medium; high or critical were found. However; two minor potential security vulnerabilities and some improvable code parts were identified. As a result; various improvements have been implemented; see the KeePass 2.57.1 changelog.$$$$$$Notes on the code analysis report (which will be published on the BSI website soon):$$$$$$D. Findings with the classification Bad practice; by line number in keepass-sast.xlsx:$$$$$$97-99. For these three links; HTTP has now been replaced by HTTPS.$$$100. Unfortunately; this website does not support HTTPS (no connection possible). Therefore; the link has now been replaced by a link to Regex101 (similar website; but supports HTTPS).$$$101-103 and 105. These problems have now been fixed. All streams/readers/writers mentioned are now closed immediately; even when an exception occurs.$$$104. Fixed.$$$E1.1. For details about the security of auto-types window/sequence matching; see the section Auto-Type Window/Sequence Matching.$$$$$$In the report; it is suggested that for a global auto-type operation; an entry should match only if the title of the target window matches the title of the KeePass entry exactly. This is not an improvement in our opinion; for the following two reasons:$$$$$$Security is not really increased. If a malicious website uses exactly the same title as a legitimate website; the window title is also identical for both websites; and thus the two websites are indistinguishable for auto-type. If an exact match would be necessary; a malicious website could not specify multiple service names; but such an attack is probably rather rare. An attacker who wants to phish usually tries to create a website that looks as real as possible (including the title); multiple service names in the title would increase the likelihood that a user would recognize the website as malicious (especially when KeePass shows a selection dialog due to multiple matching entries).$$$The suggestion is not practical; because window titles often contain additional text that you do not want in an entry title. In the example in the report (website with the URL https://wiki.mgm-tp.com/confluence/dologin.action); the window title is Log In - mgm Confluence - Mozilla Firefox; and this is exactly what a user would have to enter as entry title if an exact match would be required. Prefixes such as Log In - and suffixes such as - Mozilla Firefox in the entry title would make it much more difficult for users to find and manage entries. Furthermore; a reasonable sorting of entries by title would no longer be possible (as sorting would primarily be done by prefixes).

Changes from 2.56 to 2.57:$$$New Features:$$$$$$Added option Prevent certain screen captures (in Tools ? Options ? tab Security; turned off by default); note that this may also prevent legitimate other software (remote desktop solutions; accessibility tools such as screen magnifiers; etc.) from seeing KeePass windows.$$$Added the new option Prevent certain screen captures in the Enforce Options (All Users) dialog (in Tools ? Advanced Tools ? Enforce Options).$$$Key files can be created on the secure desktop now.$$$Added shortcut keys for the Copy Group (Encrypted) (Ctrl+Shift+C) and Paste Group (Ctrl+Shift+V) commands.$$$Ctrl+Shift+V can now be used for pasting entries while the group tree has the input focus and vice versa.$$$Added More button in the icon picker dialog; which shows a menu that provides two commands: Rename and Export; the menu is also shown as context menu of the custom icons list.$$$When importing an icon; the file name without extension is now used as icon name.$$$Added option Remember password hiding setting in the main window column configuration dialog (turned off by default).$$$Added support for long paths when running on .NET 4.6.2 or higher.$$$Some error messages now contain the type and the HResult of the exception that occured.$$$Some error messages are now more detailed when running KeePass with the -debug command line option.$$$Bitwarden JSON import: two-digit years are now converted to four-digit years.$$$Added UIFlags bit for automatically adjusting weak key transformation settings to the current default values (without a confirmation dialog).$$$Added DPI detection on Unix-like systems.$$$For applications using KeePass as a library: added a new common initialization method (CommonInitialize) that allows a custom error handling/reporting.$$$Improvements:$$$$$$Databases are now always saved in the KDBX 4/4.1 file format; if you need a KDBX 3.1 file (e.g. for compatibility with an old app); perform an export: main menu File ? Export ? format KeePass KDBX (2.34; Old Format).$$$Auto-Type: improved compatibility with Remote Desktop Client (WSL).$$$In an auto-type error dialog; the sequence is now only displayed if KeePass has been started with the -debug command line option.$$$Increased maximum length of the main window title.$$$Improved handling of shortcut keys in the main window.$$$Improved entry data exchange menu update performance.$$$After moving a group; KeePass now ensures that the group is visible.$$$Improved database save confirmation dialog text.$$$When showing the master key creation/change dialog on the secure desktop; trying to perform an operation that is not supported on the secure desktop now results in a simple error message; i.e. it is not possible anymore to choose to cancel the dialog and perform the operation on the normal desktop; this avoids certain accidental data loss scenarios.$$$Various improvements in the simple file browser dialog (for the secure desktop).$$$While a hot key control of the options dialog is focused; dialog-specific keyboard shortcuts are now disabled.$$$Changed the MAC Address password generator profile such that it always generates a unicast; locally administered MAC address in the SLAP administratively assigned quadrant.$$$In the icon picker dialog: moved the Export command into the More/context menu of the custom icons list.$$$When running on .NET 4.7 or higher; KeePass now supports all TLS/SSL protocol versions that are supported/enabled by the framework/system.$$$Improved error messages for exception chains.$$$Improved serialization; deserialization and conversion of nullable booleans.$$$Improved deserialization of variant dictionaries.$$$Improved application context initialization.$$$Improved termination of the program in case of a fatal exception.$$$Various UI text improvements.$$$Various code optimizations.$$$Minor other improvements.$$$Bugfixes:$$$$$$(None).$$$
