Password Safe 2.11, 2.16 and 3.0BETA1 does not respect the configuration settings for locking the password database when certain dialogue windows are open, which might allow attackers with physical access to obtain the database contents.

CounterPane PasswordSafe 1.x and 2.x allows local users to test possible encryption keys against a subset of the stored key data without performing the more expensive key derivation function (KDF) function, which reduces the search time in brute force attacks.
