The Keepass DB can be cracked. https://medium.com/@andreabocchetti88/unlocking-keepass-a-comprehensive-guide-to-crack-the-database-74a2593d676a
I kept a few seeds in my Keepass, I have since removed them after someone at work warned me about this.
That link describes hashcat which uses some of the methods I'm referring to, it's dependent on the password quality. Crappy password will be quick.
It doesn't decrypt it, but tries many combinations of words etc encrypted to compare against the hash.
Even with a good password, I never would want anyone storing seeds in keepass, anything on the computer is a no for storing seeds.
Anything can be cracked this way, this is just a bruteforce of the master password. It can take 300 centuries to crack using NSA servers if it's a strong password.
