N-able Bug Exposes Password Vault Master Keys

The popular "Passportal" password manager, favored by MSPs and SMBs, remains risky even after its patch, thanks to its cloud-based design. Should these products stay away from the cloud entirely?

Unwise design choices from a specialty password manager allowed any malicious website to obtain complete, persistent access to customers' vaults.

"Passportal" is a credential management product from N-able, formerly SolarWinds MSP, a now-independent and nearly billion-dollar public company. N-able markets its products primarily to managed service providers (MSPs) and IT services providers, and according to its website, Passportal is used by around 2,500 managed service providers (MSPs) and 165,000 small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
