Secure wipe bypass via restorable PIN settings
Published Jan 31, 2020 · Updated Aug 6, 2024
Authentication bypass in LastPass for Android before 2.5.1 allows physically proximate attackers to defeat secure wipe protections. Android's ADB backup and restore process copies the application container, exposing LPandroid.xml so its PIN value can be recovered or removed before restoration. Physical access to an Android 4.x or later device with USB debugging enabled is required, after which the attacker can evade the ten-attempt wipe limit and access stored LastPass data.
