Minor fail by bitwarden...
- odds of arbitrary malicious iframe being on login page seems vanishingly small, especially when a compromise of the login page is probably necessary before the iframe can be injected. How often can an iframe be injected but not arbitrary js?
- iframes having autofill should definitely be a sub option on such a feature.
Either way, also curious about other password managers and their behaviors here. TFA doesn't go into that, seems like a big omission.
- ghostpepper 4y ago> odds of arbitrary malicious iframe being on login page seems vanishingly small It's pretty common to inject credit card skimmers into checkout pages - why would login pages be any different?
- AdamJacobMuller 4y agohow are iframes being injected into a page in a way which wouldn't allow other, simpler, methods of harvesting credentials. e.g. if I have access to inject an iframe, can't I just inject some javascript which will post the credentials to another server? If I have access to inject an iframe, can't I just modify the server code to just post the credentials to me?
- mananaysiempre 4y agoFor example, the iframe is inserted by an ad network the site owners trust, and the ad network in turn assumes fencing off a third-party ad selection or bot detection or whatever script into an iframe is sufficient isolation and doesn’t look at it all that hard (or maybe is not even permitted to for legal reasons). Having an ad on the login page is not universal, but neither is it uncommon, and some websites just have a login form on every page.
- pieter_mj 4y agoI suppose any password manager that allows browser extensions to handle these pages automatically, exhibits the same flaw.
