In January 2023, security expert Alex Hernandez revealed a potential attack on KeePass, where the trigger system could be abused to extract a plain text version of all passwords stored in the database. The KeePass website provides examples of useful triggers, such as backing up the database, exporting it to a secondary format, and syncing it with cloud storage. But triggers can also execute command lines or launch URLs, which is highly desirable for hackers. The majority of actions in KeePass relate to internal operations like importing/exporting the password database or syncing it with a backup file. Triggers can also be set to activate only when specific conditions are met, such as the presence of a particular file or the availability of a remote host. ![]() Triggers can be simple events like launching the program, opening a database, or shutting down the program, or more advanced events like time-based triggers or custom button triggers. The customization is done through a system of triggers, conditions, and actions. ![]() KeePass is highly customizable, surpassing all other password managers.
