Click Studios, the company behind the Passwordstate enterprise password manager, notified customers that attackers compromised the app's update mechanism to deliver malware in a supply-chain attack after breaching its networks.
Passwordstate is an on-premises password management solution used by over 370,000 security and IT professionals at 29,000 companies worldwide, as the company claims.
According to a notification email regarding the supply-chain attack sent to customers, malicious upgrades were potentially downloaded by customers between April 20 and April 22.
The company published a second advisory on Sunday, saying that "Only customers that performed In-Place Upgrades between the times stated above are believed to be affected and may have had their Passwordstate password records harvested."
Click Studios advises customers who have upgraded their client during the breach to reset all passwords in their Passwordstate database.
Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike also released analysis of the Moserpass malicious code delivered in the Passwordstate supply chain attack.
