NewPass before 1.2.0 stores passwords (rather than password hashes) directly, which makes it easier to obtain unauthorized access to sensitive information. NOTE: in each case, data at rest is encrypted, but is decrypted within process memory during use.

Weakness

The product stores sensitive information in cleartext within a resource that might be accessible to another control sphere.
