NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream keepass2 package and not the keepass2 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

The automatic update feature in KeePass 2.33 and earlier allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary code by spoofing the version check response and supplying a crafted update.
