    No, requiring the existing master password won’t help. A drive by miscreant with access to an unlocked computer with an unlocked DB can delete all the DB entries. If the DB is locked they can just delete the DB file. KeePassXC can’t defend against this, that takes properly functioning versioned backups.

      yeah, maybe denial of service isn’t it. I replied to a comment above why I think it should still be protected functionality to help prevent data leak.
