I believe that this is something that Bitwarden users may not be aware of, and it is not clearly spelled out in the documentation. This wouldn't even require an off-line attack using a script, as described in the blog - an unsophisticated attacker could simply shut down and restart the Bitwarden app after every fourth try, thus gaining another 4 unlock attempts. In my opinion, the only valuable take-away from the blog article, is that the 5-attempt limit can easily be overcome if one has disabled the "Lock with master password on browser restart" option.

And of course, the fact that an attacker with physical access to the user's device would have an opportunity to compromise the device with malware, which is why Bitwarden's bug bounty program excludes "Attacks requiring physical access to a user's device". This could be done by malware as well, but if the attacker has installed malware on the user's device, they wouldn't have to bother with brute-forcing (they could just wait for the user to unlock the vault, and then exfiltrate all vault contents from process memory). The attacker has to have physical access to the user's device, to copy the data.json file.
