Re: KeePass version 2.12 <= Insecure DLL Hijacking Vulnerability (dwmapi.dll)

That is what others said, yet it installed automatically on mine.
The only interaction was that I allowed it to be downloaded and
installed....not really geeky at all...

I must say you'll have to take my word on it.

That is not a "patch", not installed by default: is only for
uber-geeks who manually install it. Was issued a week ago, in
response to this kerfuffle, not "quite some time ago".

Which setting of CWDIllegalInDllSearch did you choose: was it
0xFFFFFFFF which may be "safe", but is known to break Outlook
(and others), as noted in

 DLL hijacking vulnerabilities

(geeks can add further tweaks to the registry to fix).

Cheers, Paul
