❗️🚨 Microsoft Edge keeps every saved password in process memory as cleartext from the moment it launches. Microsoft's responsed when reported: "by design." All of them. Including credentials for sites you won't open this session. Researcher @L1v1ng0ffTh3L4N tested every major Chromium browser. Edge is the only one that behaves this way. Chrome decrypts credentials on demand, and App-Bound Encryption locks the keys to an authenticated Chrome process so other processes can't reuse them. In Chrome, plaintext surfaces only during autofill or when a password is viewed, making memory scraping far less useful. What makes this extra weird is that Edge still demands re-authentication before revealing those passwords in its Password Manager UI, while the same browser process already holds every one of them in plaintext. In shared environments, this turns into a credential harvest. On a terminal server, an attacker with admin rights can read the memory of every logged-on user process. In the published PoC video, a compromised admin account lifts stored credentials from two other logged-on (and even disconnected) users with Edge running. Microsoft's official response when notified: "by design." The finding was disclosed April 29 at BigBiteOfTech by PaloAltoNtwks Norway, alongside a small educational tool that lets anyone verify the cleartext storage for themselves.

@_seclab_ @chuki_zaru あとi386やi486SXの頃の「外付けキャッシャメモリ」を無効化するM/Bも有った。むしろTurboオンの時が本来の速度で、オフにすると遅くなりDOSゲームとか速過ぎてクリア出来ないのを速度Downでクリアするのに使った。
