Microsoft Edge stores all passwords in memory in clear text, even when unused

微软 Edge 浏览器将所有密码以明文形式存储在内存中,即使在未使用时也是如此

A security researcher has discovered that Microsoft Edge keeps all saved passwords in the browser’s memory in clear text. This vulnerability persists even when the user is not actively using the password manager or the browser is idle. 一位安全研究人员发现,微软 Edge 浏览器会将所有已保存的密码以明文形式保留在浏览器内存中。即使在用户未主动使用密码管理器或浏览器处于空闲状态时,该漏洞依然存在。

The issue stems from how the browser handles the decryption of stored credentials. While Edge encrypts passwords on the disk, it decrypts them into the system’s RAM for quick access. Security experts warn that this could allow malicious software or local attackers with sufficient privileges to scrape the memory and extract sensitive login information. 该问题源于浏览器处理存储凭据解密的方式。虽然 Edge 在磁盘上对密码进行了加密,但它会将密码解密到系统内存(RAM)中以便快速访问。安全专家警告称,这可能使恶意软件或具有足够权限的本地攻击者能够通过扫描内存来窃取敏感的登录信息。

Microsoft has been notified of the findings, but as of now, there is no official patch to address this specific memory management behavior. Users are advised to be cautious about the software they install on their machines and to consider using a dedicated, third-party password manager that may offer more robust security isolation. 微软已获悉相关发现,但截至目前,尚未发布针对此特定内存管理行为的官方补丁。建议用户谨慎安装计算机上的软件,并考虑使用能够提供更强安全隔离的第三方专用密码管理器。
