CVE-2018-25081 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Bitwarden through 2023.2.1 offers password auto-fill within a cross-domain IFRAME element. NOTE: the vendor's position is that there have been important legitimate cross-domain configurations (e.g., an apple.com IFRAME element on the icloud.com website) and that "Auto-fill on page load" is not enabled by default.. EPSS estimates a 1.03% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
