CVE-2019-11733: Saved passwords in 'Saved logins' can be copied without entering the master password.
When a master password is set, it is required to be entered before stored passwords can be accessed in the 'Saved Logins' dialog. It was found that locally stored passwords can be copied to the clipboard thorough the 'copy password' context menu item without first entering the master password, allowing for potential theft of stored passwords.
