Password Manager Vulnerability?

I had posted this on another forum and received no answers. Perhaps here?

See the article at
https://arstechnica.com/security/20...-encrypted-credentials-from-password-manager/

Fascinating discussion about the malware KeeFarce that targets KeePass password manager. Keefarce uses DLL injection to "... call an existing KeePass export method to copy the contents of a currently open database to a CSV file. The resulting file contains user names, passwords, notes, and URLs all in clear text." The bottom line is that if one's computer is compromised, all bets are off as to whether the password manager one is using is secure. (True??) Note that malware similar to Keefarce could probably be written for other password managers. So KeePass is not alone with this vulnerability?

Big question: Should we be concerned with this vulnerability?

Another question: I currently store my passwords on paper. My laptop never leaves my home so I consider this reasonably secure. Any reason I should use a password manager?

 

Why didn't you reply to this thread?

I guess you simply forgot your other thread, but if you are still considering LastPass you may find THIS reassuring.

 

This is why they have Keepass Portable, so it is not on your machine waiting for the bad guys.

 

The article that you linked to is from November 2015.

Keepass Password Safe has been updated at least twice since then.
If this was a true vulnerability, it would have been patched already.
The program referenced in the article is a tool available at github.com.
It is not regarded as a threat.
You can read a discussion about it at the Keepass forum:

As I understand it,
In order for that program, Keefarce, to work, it has to be downloaded and run.
Keepass has to be running and the database already unlocked and loaded.
